Terminology for area's
(OP)
Listen to this,
If I say I have something that is "3 ft^2" (read: three feet squared), does that mean I'm talking about a square that is 3 by 3 or a square with sides that have an area that adds up to be 3?
Alternatively,
If I say I have something that is "3 square feet" (read: three square feet), does that mean I'm talking about a square that is 3 by 3 or a square with sides that have an area that adds up to be 3?
I guess my basic question is, "Is there a difference between 'three feet squared' and 'three square feet'; and if so what is it?
Thanks

the way i was taught was 3' sq. equals 3'x3' or 9 sq feet while 3 sq ft equals 12x12 3 times
i hope i am not adding to the confusion
