I hope this helps!
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out

Answer:
593.04 square inches leather is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Leather needed to sew a ball = Surface area of the ball
Surface area of the sphere = 4πr²
= 4π(6.55)²
= 539.13 inches²
Since 10% extra material is needed for the seams, amount of material required = 539.13 + (10% of 539.13)
= 593.043
= 593.04 square inches
593.04 square inches of leather will be needed.
