Dot diagram to show why 9 is a square number

9 is a square number because when you use the dot diagram, 9 dots form a square. They are in a 3 by 3 square.

I attached how to show this.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Hope this helps.

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
