Just because the fish swam away doesn't mean they left the pond
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>we have
</em>
<em>
256^{\frac{3}{4}}
</em>
<em>
we know that
</em>
<em>
256=2^{8}
</em>
<em>
substitute
</em>
<em>
256^{\frac{3}{4}}=(2^{8})^{\frac{3}{4}}=2^{\frac{24}{4}}=2^{6}=64
</em>
<em>
therefore
</em>
<em>
the answer is the option
</em>
<em>
64</em>
<em>this is what i found </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
well, it is a combination of 2 shapes.
I, personally, would have split it into the small 2x2 square (in the top right corner) and then into the 6x(7-2) rectangle.
that would be
2x2 + 6x5 = 4 + 30 = 34 cm²
but you started a valid approach too.
you "sliced" off a narrow rectangle along the whole right side. 7x2.
and that leaves now a 4x(7-2) rectangle.
so,
7x2 + 4x5 = 14 + 20 = 34 cm²
yes, this was my answer.
how did this suddenly appear as your answer ?
The best option here is option A.
