<h3>
Answer: shaded region has area 107 square feet</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
A = area of larger rectangle
A = length*width = 9*15 = 135 square feet
B = area of smaller rectangle
B = length*width = 7*4 = 28 square feet
C = area of shaded region
C = difference in areas of A and B
C = A - B = 135 - 28 = 107 square feet
Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

And now, solving for x = 9 we have:

b) 
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression

c) 
Using the same property we used in a) we have:

And now, solving for z = 16 we have:
