Jace is making a water play table from a triangular table top. He sketched a dotted line to show where he wants to add a circula
r water bowl. It should go all the way to the edges of the table as shown. A circle is inscribed within triangle A B C. The length of A B is 3.5 feet, the length of B C is 4 feet, and the length of A C is 2 feet. Angle A B C is 30 degrees and angle A C B is 60 degrees. What should Jace do first to find the exact location of the center of the circular water bowl? He should find the midpoint of each edge of the table. He should bisect each of the angles at the vertices of the triangular table top. He should draw perpendicular lines through any point along the edges of the table. He should draw perpendicular line segments from each corner to the opposite edge of the table.
You have a negative exponent so you have to bring the -2 down : 1/-2^3. Then you multiply the -2*-2*-2 which is -8 so you get 1/-8 or -1/8. It means the same thing.
