You are applying the ^2 to the 3 instead of the ft.

The ^2 is on the ft, so that's what it applies to.

You already saw that Wikipedia, TFF and me all agree on this. Here are other people:

A 1000 ft^2 apartment plan. That's 1000000 square feet?

Another 1000ft^2 apartment. Could it be 1000ft wide?



Where is any other party that agrees with you?
