Entering a Squared number in Excel

I am trying to write a conversion spreadsheet so that I can quickly reference conversion relating to a project I am working on.

I have the width of the location: 16.5km
I have the length of the location: 11.5km
I have the usable area of the location: 13km2

I have entered those figures into my spreadsheet, but cannot get the km2 to input correctly. I have tried just entering 132^2 and I have tried =132^2. I first attempt only displayed what I entered (I am assuming as text); the second gave me the square root of 132. I need to enter 132km2 as the cells value, so that I can have the rest of the spreadsheet convert those values to miles, feet and inches.

Is this possible; should be in my opinion; I just don't seem to be able to figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

 

When I type in these six characters:

=132^2​

into a cell in Excel, and then press [Enter], Excel displays:

17424​

which is correct.



If I type in these ten characters:

=sqrt(132)​

into a cell in Excel, and then press [Enter], Excel displays:

11.48912​

which is also correct.
