Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If A = - 3, than A^2 is equal to (-3)^2

If a number is squared (to power of 2), it is multiplied by itself (there are two of that number being multiplied together) so it is - 3x-3

-3 x - 3 = 9,

Because 3x3 =9 and a negative multiplied by a negative makes a positive.

Hope this helped!

That is the answer.
