Examples :
(-2)^3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = - 8
(-3)^4 = (-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) = 81
(-1)^5 = (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = -1
** if the exponent is an even number, the answer will be positive. if the exponent is an odd number, then the answer will be negative
** but keep in mind....if the negative is not included with the base..
-(5^2) = - 25....but (-5^2) = 25

You can apply the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c is the longest side of the triangle
2.2^2 + 4.2^2 = 6.7^2
4.84 + 17.64 = 44.89
22.48 =/= 44.89
That is not a right triangle
<span>regular pentagon sum of interior = (5 - 2) x 180 = 3 x 180 = 540
so
x = 540 / 5 = 108
180 - 108 = 72
y = 72/2 = 36
z = 180 - 90 - 36
z = 54
answer
x = 108, y = 36 and z = 54</span>
