Squaring a number gives you the surface area of a square, cubing a number gives you the volume of a square, what does 4thing a number give you in relation to squares? Does it give you a value that relates to some property of a 4th-dimensional shape that's an extension of cubes?

In theory, yes

[math]x^n[/math] gives the [math]n^{th}[/math] dimensional volume of that shape. We just have a special names for 2-D

get out

In practice we have a bit of trouble finding a fourth spacial dimension to measure

Tesseract is a meme for retards who won't stop asking what a 4th-dimensional shape looks like.

You can geometrically multiply lengths to get another length, not just an area. You just need the ability to draw parallel lines.

Here's how to multiply two arbitrary lengths to get another length.
You can use this same technique to divide as well.
