When you square a negative number, the result is always a positive number. This is because squaring a number means multiplying the number by itself. When you multiply two negative numbers, the negative signs cancel out, resulting in a positive number.
For example, if you square -3:
(-3) × (-3) = 9
As you can see, the result is 9, which is a positive number. This rule applies to all negative numbers, regardless of their magnitude.
