-4^2 is the same as -4*-4
-4*-4=16
-4^2= 16
-4^2 is the exponent.
I hope this helps!

REVISED ANSWER.
In the picture, I have drawn on the example given. the RC and PD are the same because They are across from each other perfectly. So the answer is still PD=400m but if there can be two answers then I would have to say another possiblity would be 200m for the diameter of the pond. The wording of this problem is tricky and the picture can throw you off a bit but I did my best to answer properly here.
So if you could mark brainliest that would be awesome.
No if they win it remains positive the negative will be losses which will be changed due to absolute value

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:
x = the middle integer
Then the 3 consecutive integers are:
x - 1, x, x + 1
The product of the first and the third integer:
(x - 1)*(x + 1) = x^2 - 1
is equal to:
3 more than 3 times the second integer:
3x + 3
So:
x^2 - 1 = 3x + 3
Solve:
x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0
(x-4)(x+1) = 0
x = -1 and 4
Since x is the middle integer, we have two sets of solutions:
3,4,5 and -2,-1,0
