Answer: Assuming the a2 is a with an exponent of 2 and a3 is a with an exponent of 3, the answer is 2a^6-2a^5
Step-by-step explanation: the number after the ^ means to the power of

Answer: Choice C) 421.9</h3>
=======================================
Explanation:
You're on the right track. You wrote down the proper expression to get the final answer, assuming you meant to write 75/4 as the third term inside the parenthesis. This works because each time you cut the side length in half to get each smaller triangle's side. The 3 is because there are 3 sides for each of the triangles. Much of this I have a feeling you already know as you wrote down the expression on the page, though I'm not 100% sure of your mindset. Computing this expression leads to 421.875 which rounds to 421.9
note: an alternative is to write 3*75 + 3*75/2 + 3*75/4 + 3*75/8, though that is more work. It's better to have that 3 factored out.
So in order to solve you must first combine like terms.
-2y + 2y + 3 = 3
0 + 3 = 3
Subtract 3.
0 = 0
The answer is infinate solution because both numbers are the same.
I hope this helps love! :)
Area= a*height
the formula for an isosceles trapezoid is 1/2(base1+base2)*height. 1/2 base 2 and 2a will simplify to a base length of a. a times height or a*height
