The answer is:


6.561*10^(-7)\\0.0000006561

The explanation is shown below:

1. You have the following expression given in the problem above:


(8.1*10^(-4))^2

2. By applying the properties of exponents, the power rule, you can multiply the power 2 by and the power -4, then:


65.61*10^(-8)=6.561*10^(-7)

3. To write as a decimal, you must move the decimal point 7 places to the left. Therefore, you have:


0.0000006561
