Question

Maureen plants tulips in a rectangular flower bed that is 2 to the 3rd power feet wide and 2 to the 4th power feet long.

Answer 1

The area would be 128ft^2 because 2^4 is 2x2x2x2 and 2^3 is 2x2x2 and if you multiply them you get 128ft6=^2

Answer 2

Answer: $128\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangular flower bed=$2^4\ ft=2\times2\times2\times2=16\ ft$

The width of the rectangular flower bed=$2^3\ ft=2\times2\times2=8\ ft$

We know that the area of rectangle is given by

Area = $length\times width$

Therefore, the area of the flower bed= $16\times8=128\ ft^2$

Thus, the area of the flower bed= $128\ ft^2$
