Because there is no whole number that you can divide into both the numerator and the denominator to get a proper fraction.
When you divide exponents, you have to subtract them. So -4-3= -7 as the exponent
When you have a negative exponent, then you have to flip the fraction (all whole numbers are over 1 so flip the 1 to the top and the 5^7 on the bottom)
A. The hexagon is circumscribed about the circle .
D. Each vertex of the hexagon lies outside the circle .
E. The circle is tangent to each side of the hexagon .
To solve for the perimeter first figure out the length and width from the formula of area for the rectangle
A = LxW
A = (14-X)•X
L = (14-X)
W = X
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(14-X) + 2(X)
P = 28 - 2X + 2X
P = 28.
The perimeter of the rectangle is A. 28.
