See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Using the rules from PEDMAS we first execute the Exponent operation:

#1/2 xx 72 xx 10^color(red)(2) => 1/2 xx 72 xx 100#

Now, we execute the Multiplication operations from left to right:

#color(red)(1/2) xx color(red)(72) xx 100 => color(red)(36) xx color(red)(100) => 3600#
