Um what are the dimensions and numbers they give you? how big is the pool?
how small?
Note that (a^b)^c=a^(bc) so in this case we have:
(27^(1/3))^2 the cube root of 27=±3
(±3)^2 and ±3^2=9
So the equivalent expression is 9 or if you need an exponent 9^1 :)
I am assuming that you meant 27^(2/3)
Square root both sides. The unreduced answer is root 28. Now. To reduce root 28, you need to break it down into factors and hope one of them is a perfect square.
4*7=28, and 4 is a square number. The square root of 4 is either positive or negative 2. Now that you've found that square, pull it out from under the square root symbol. Under the root symbol, you're left with 7 (not a perfect square).
Therefore, your answer is C
