Answer:
6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the side length of the original square.
They removed 3 in from each side of the original square, so the side lengths of the remaining square are x - 3 in.
The area of the smaller square is (x - 3)².
The area of the original square is x²
I assume the area of the smaller square is ¼ that of the original square. Then
1. Solve for x

2. Calculate the side length of the smaller square
(a) x = 2
Side length = x - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1 in.
IMPOSSIBLE. You can't have a negative side length.
(b) x = 6
Side length of smaller square = 6 - 3 = 3 in.
Side length of original square = x = 6 in

Answer:
mean gives you the average of the information, median gives the perfect number. brainliest please
You first multiply the outside exponents into the numbers in the parentheses.
When you have an exponent being multiplied directly to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
For example(because I am a bad explainer):


When you divide an exponent by an exponent, you subtract the exponents
For example:

When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive
For example:



You can think of it like this if you want:
Now multiply the outside exponents into the exponents in the parentheses
Divide 27 and 9
