What number is the square of 4 divided by 2?

  1. 8

  2. 16

  3. 64

  4. 128

The correct answer is: 8

To determine what number is the square of 4 divided by 2, we first need to calculate the square of 4. The square of a number is found by multiplying the number by itself. Thus, \(4^2\) or 4 squared equals 16. Next, we divide that result by 2. Performing the division, we take 16 and divide it by 2, which gives us 8. The correct answer, therefore, is 8, as it accurately represents the process of squaring the number 4 and then dividing the result by 2.
