The result of the exponential expression is 81
<h3>Indices expressions</h3>
Indices are written in term of exponents
According to the expoenent law of indices
a^4 = a * a * a * a
Given the expression
(-3)^4
This means the product of -3 in four places. Mathematically
(-3)^4 = -3 * -3 * -3 * -3
(-3)^4 = 9 * 9
(-3)^4 = 81
Hence the result of the exponential expression is 81

There are two c's. You must pay attention to capitalization, there's a lowercase c and an uppercase C which represent two different variables. Also, the W is capitalized which could make your answer incorrect if you don't use the same notation.
Solving for small c..

So it's the answer shown in the picture, but it should be a capital W instead of a lowercase w.
C^2 = a^2 + b^2
26^2 = 10^2 + b^2
676 = 100 + b^2
576 = b^2
shortest side length = 24 units
A=BH
Which means area= base x height
