Option A

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

<em><u>Product of powers property:</u></em>
The product of powers property tells us that when you multiply powers with the same base you just have to add the exponents
Which is represented as,

<em><u>Therefore, the given expression becomes,</u></em>

Now add the exponents, we get

Simplify the above expression

Simplify the exponent of y, we get

Thus Option A is correct
Answer:
r is 14/2=7 inches, just use circle area formula πr^2 then divide by 2
18/3.5=5.1 so you do 14/5.1=2.7
so your answer is 2.7 in
I believe you would create and equation to find x and y.
