Thank you thank you for clarifying a straightforward error. Also, I notice that some nonnative speakers of English are deaf to the difference between square meters and meters squared. For them, I would point out that three meters squared equal nine square meters. (I am spelling out the symbols only to capture them as spoken.)

Let's use SI, the language of symbols: 100 m^2 is different than (100 m)^2, the latter 10 000 m^2.

This error was in the original source and escaped our proofreading.
