-3^2= -(3)^2
The exponent of 2 only applies to the number 3. -(3)^2 should equal -9. This is true because according to the order of operations, exponents should be evaluated before multiplication. The negative sign here represents -1* 3^2.
If you want to find -3 to the power of 2 it must be written (-3)^2.
Well, first of all, the first statement (ABC = ADC) looks like it just says
that the two halves of the little square ... each side of the diagonal ...
are congruent. That's no big deal, and it's no help in answering the
question.
The effect of the dilation is that all the DIMENSIONS of the square
are doubled ... each side of the square becomes twice as long.
Then, when you multiply (length x width) to get the area, you'd have
Area = (2 x original length) x (2 x original width)
and that's
the same as (2 x 2) x (original length x original width)
= (4) x (original area) .
Here's an easy, useful factoid to memorize:
-- Dilate a line (1 dimension) by 'x' times . . . multiply the length by x¹
-- Dilate a shape (2 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply area by x²
-- Dilate a solid (3 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply volume by x³
And that's all the dimensions we have in our world.

Oh, BTW . . .
-- Dilate a point (0 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply it by x⁰ (1)
Answer: The correct option is triangle GDC
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for further details.
The dimensions give for the cube are such that the top surface has vertices GBCF while the bottom surface has vertices HADE.
A right angle can be formed in quite a number of ways since the cube has right angles on all six surfaces. However the question states that the diagonal that forms the right angle runs "through the interior."
Therefore option 1 is not correct since the diagonal formed in triangle BDH passes through two surfaces. Triangle DCB is also formed with its diagonal passing only along one of the surfaces. Triangle GHE is also formed with its diagonal running through one of the surfaces.
However, triangle GDC is formed with its diagonal passing through the interior as shown by the "zigzag" line from point G to point D. And then you have another line running from vertex D to vertex C.
It can sometimes be rational
N+-6=11 Write the original equation.
+6 +6 Add 6 to both sides.
N=17 This is the answer.
