-4^2 is the same as -4*-4
-4*-4=16
-4^2= 16
-4^2 is the exponent.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem can be solved using Pythagoras' identity for a right triangle.
The angle between due East and due North is 90°
The solution here involves using the Cosine rule.
let x be the direct distance between house and office, then
x² = 17² + 21² - 2(17)(21)cos90° → option 2
Note that since cos90° = 0 the equation reduces to
x² = 17² + 21² ← Pythagoras' identity
X=14/5 if you want solution here:
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms: 2x=14-3x
Move the variable to the left - hand side and change sign: 2x+3x=14
Collect like terms: 5x=14
Divide both sides of the equation by 5: x=14/5
13 x 12 = 156 square inches
5 ft but I don’t know why I just like 5
