No they wouldn't be the same because, the perimeter is adding all sides.

The square has 4 sides so you would add 9, four times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36

And a pentagon has 5 sides so you would add 9, five times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45

So, they are not the same.

Hope this helps. :)

If the base is 4, what is the value if the exponent is 2? What if the exponent is -2?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

In the world of exponents, 4 is the number being raised by the exponent, which is 2.

Let's answer the first question:

If the base is 4, what is the value if the exponent is 2?

The base is 4 and the exponent is 2. We would multiply 4 two times.

$4^2= 4*4 = 16$

So, it would be 16.

Let's answer the second question:

What if the exponent is -2?

This is the rule for negative exponents:

$a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}$

Using this rule, we can solve $4^{-2}$ .

$4^{-2}= \frac{1}{4^2}=\frac{1}{16}$

So, our answer for the 2nd question is 1/16.
