Answer: a = 17/6
Step-by-step explanation:
I will use two laws of indices to solve this question
1. x^a / x^b = x^(a-b)
2. x^a = x^b, => a = b
Using both laws
x³/x^1/6 = x^a
x^(3-1/6) = x^a
3 - 1/6 = a
a = 3 - 1/6
a = (18 - 1)/6 using LCM
a = 17/6
Answer:
A = 200.96 sq ft
formula for area of a circle: A = π·r²
A = (3.14)·(8²)
A = 64·(3.14)
A = 200.96
