Answer 1

Answer: 12500

Step-by-step explanation:

10²= 10 * 10= 100

125 * 100= 12500

Answer 2

Answer: 12,500

Explanation:

10² is the same as multiplying 10 x 10 = 100.

125 x 100 = 12,500

When dealing with a base ten, a quicker way to do this is to see it's being raised to the positive 2. We will then "add two zeros" onto the end. 125 & 0 & 0 = 12,500.
