<u><em>Part 1:</em></u><u>Before we begin, you need to remember the following rule:</u>

<u>The given expression is:</u>

Since the base is the same in both numerator and denominator, we can apply the above rule. <u>This means that:</u>

= 12¹⁻³ = 12⁻²
<u><em>Part 2:</em></u><u>Before we begin, you need to remember the following rule:</u>
x⁻ᵃ =

Now, <u>from part 1</u>, we simplified the expression into 12⁻²
Since the power is negative, we can apply the above rule.
<u>This means that:</u>
12⁻² =

Hope this helps :)
Answer:36π squared feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Diameter=12
Radius=diameter/2
Radius=12/2
Radius=6 feet
Area of circle=π x Radius x Radius
Area of circle=π x 6 x 6
Area of circle=36π
Answer:
200.96
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have to find the area of both.
The area for the mat is
(pi)12^2=3.14x144. However, since it is HALF a circle, we divide it by two.
So, 226.08
Next, the water bowl.
(3.14)4^2=50.24.
226.08-25.12=200.96
I may be wrong!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of this line is 15 units. FG is 6 units long.
This means that the probability of p being on FG would be
which can be simplified to
