(6^-2)^2
When you have a number raised to a power inside parenthesis and then it is raised to another power, to simplify, multiply the two powers together:
-2 x 2 = -4
Simplified is 6^-4
As shown in the figures given :
For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units [As can be seen in the figure]
For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units [since 1 side is common ]
For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units [since 2 sides is common ]
If one more octagon is added
then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units [since 3 sides will be common ]
