The square numbers are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 etc. The fifth one is 25
The cube of 3 is just 3 cubed, which is 3 x 3 x 3, which equals 27
Therefore the sum of them is 25 + 27 = 52
also express the following numbers as products of thier prime factors

Basically, all this means is what prime numbers would you multiply together to make the number. For example, with 48:
48 can be split into 24 and 2
24 can be split into 12 and 2
12 can be split into 4 and 3
4 can be split in 2 and 2
Therefore, 48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
Which can also be written as 2^4 x 3
I hope this makes sense :)
