How do you solve powers of powers in advanced algebra

Ex: 2^2^2

Basically, the base is multiplied by the first power however large the number. Then the new base is multiplied by the second power to get an even larger number.
Say you have a question that asks for the power of the power of 2. Or 2^2^2.

You would do the equation 2^2 first, and end up with 4. But since you have another power, you would have the answer as 4^2. Which would then equal 16. But another equation that is similar is: 2^2^2 = 2^4
The two equations would still get the same answer, but would look entirely different.

If you know the area of a rectangle can you predict its perimeter? Explain

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

No. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions, and you need
the dimensions if you want the perimeter.

If you know the area, you only know the product of the length and width,
but you don't know what either of them is.

In fact, you can draw an infinite number of different rectangles
that all have the same area but different perimeters.

Here. Look at this.
I tell you that a rectangle's area is 256. What is its perimeter ?

-- If the rectangle is 16 by 16, then its perimeter is 64 .
-- If the rectangle is 8 by 32, then its perimeter is 80 .
-- If the rectangle is 4 by 64, then its perimeter is 136 .
-- If the rectangle is 2 by 128, then its perimeter is 260 .
-- If the rectangle is 1 by 256, then its perimeter is 514 .
-- If the rectangle is 0.01 by 25,600 then its perimeter is 51,200.02

A circular piece of glass has a radius of 0.8 meters. The glass sells for $4.60 per square meter. What is the total cost of the

Mama L [17]

Here given that r= 0.8

Area of circular glass = area of circle = pi r^2

= 3.14 ( 0.8)^2 = 2.009 square meter

cost of one square meter = 4.60

cost of 2.009 square meter = 4.60 * 2.009 = 9.244

Answer $ 9.244 .
