does 2^5 =5^2 ? Use the drop-down menus to explain

Answer:
No. This is not true.
2x2x2x2x2 = 32
5x5 = 25
Therefore,
2^5 does NOT equal 5^2.

[tex]\huge\textbf{Question reads....}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Does\ 2^5 = 5^2?\ Use \ the\ drop-down\ menus\ to \ explain}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Breaking down the first equation:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{2^5}\\\\\mathbf{= 2\times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}\\\\\mathbf{= 4 \times 4 \times 2}\\\\\mathbf{= 16 \times 2}\\\\\mathbf{= 32}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{So, the first choice \boxed{answer} is:}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{\mathsf{2\times2\times2\times2\times2}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Answering number 2:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Since, your\ 2\ expressed\ 5\ times, so\ your\ answer\ should\ be: }\\\\\\\huge\boxed{\textsf{Only factor is 2}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[tex]\huge\textbf{Breaking down the second equation: }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{5^2}\\\\\mathbf{= 5\times5}\\\\\mathbf{= 25}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{So, the third choice \boxed{answer} is:}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{\mathsf{5\times5}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Answering number 4:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Since, your\ 5\ expressed\ 2\ times, so\ your\ answer\ should\ be: }\\\\\\\huge\boxed{\textsf{Only factor is 5}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[tex]\mathbf{2^5 \neq 5^2}\\\\\\\mathbf{32 \neq 25}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Since }\rm{2^5}\large\text{ and }\rm{5^2}\large\text{ have }\large\boxed{\textbf{ no common factors }},\large\text{ they \boxed{\textbf{ are not }}}\large\text{ equal.}[/tex]
