Answer:

The squared root of 9 is 3

Why - Half of 9 is 3

Why do we called this squared - It is the positive solution of the equation x2 = 9. The number 9 is a perfect square.

5 Cubed is equal to 125

Why - The number 125 on prime factorization gives 5 × 5 × 5. On combining the prime factors in groups of 3 gives 5

Why do we call this cubed = The cube of a number is that number times itself times itself. 5 cubed, denoted 53, is equal to 5×5×5, or 125.
