Write:

drawing%2850%2C50%2C0%2C3%2C-.5%2C1.5%2Clocate%280%2C1%2C8%5E%282%2F3%29%29%29

as

%28root%283%2C8%29%29%5E2

Then since root%283%2C8%29=2, we have

%282%29%5E2

or 2%5E2

which is

4

Is that supposed to be 8^(2/3) ?
That is 8 to the cubic root squared so the three would be outside the radical and the 8^2 inside.
root%283%2C8%5E2%29
or even
%28root%283%2C8%29%29%5E2
