Yep, that would be 36m^2. If it helps, think of a grid of 1m by 1m tiles laid out on the floor. How many tiles could you fit?

  I always thought it was "4 metres squared" means 4x4 and "4 square metres" means 2x2. Unless 4m^2 doesn't mean "4 metres squared", which would really be confusing me ...

    m² is the symbol for "square metres", so 6 m² is e.g. a room 2m x 3m

    6² m² = (6m)² != 6 m²

    Exponentiation usually binds more tightly than multiplication, so 6 m² = 6 * (m²) != (6 m)²
