Because when you raise an exponent on a fraction, it is basically dividing into itself. Imagine 1/3 multiplied my 3 (Ans is 1), the fractions aren't whole numbers so when they multiply into another number, it uses division
45 because, the short side is half of the big size. That might be correct. But I'm almost positive
A trapezoid falls under the definition.
Hope it helped!
