Answer:


5^(9) can not be expressed as a square of any other number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 1953125 is equal to
5^(9).

Now, the above statement gives an idea that 1953125 i.e.
5^(9) is not a square number as 9 is not a multiple of 2.

So, we can not express
5^(9) as a square of any other number.

We can only express
5^(9) as
(5^(4) )^(2) * 5.
