Answer:
17.6 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio of similar shapes = a : b, then
area of shapes = a ² : b²
Δ PTQ and Δ PRS are similar and so the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is
PT : PR = 6 : 9 = 2 : 3, thus
ratio of areas = 2² : 3² = 4 : 9
let the area of Δ PQT be x, then using proportion
=
( cross- multiply )
9x = 4(x + 22) ← distribute
9x = 4x + 88 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
5x = 88 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 17.6
Thus area of Δ PQT = 17.6 m²

Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
A calculator works well for this.
_____
None of the minus signs are subject to the exponents (because they are not in parentheses, as (-1)^5, for example. Since there are an even number of them in the product, their product is +1 and they can be ignored.
1 to any power is still 1, so the factors (1^n) can be ignored.
After you ignore all of the things that can be ignored, your problem simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^-3)^-2
The rules of exponents applicable to this are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(b·c)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
Then your product simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^((-3)(-2)) = (2^2)(2^6)
= 2^(2+6)
= 2^8 = 256
