√5 = 5^(1/2)
Multiplying two number with the same base has as result a number with the same base and the sum of the exponents so:
1/2 + 3 = 7/2
which means
5^3 x 5^(1/2) = 5^(7/2)
Answer:
132 mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line added to the figure in the attachment shows it can be divided into two figures whose area is easily calculated.
1. A parallelogram of base length 20 mm and height 4 mm:
A = bh = (20 mm)(4 mm) = 80 mm^2
2. A trapezoid with bases 32 mm and 20 mm, and height 2 mm:
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(32 mm +20 mm)(2 mm) = 52 mm^2
The total area of the figure is then ...
80 mm^2 +52 mm^2 = 132 mm^2
NUMBER ONE IS THE RIGHT ANGLE AND THE SECIND INE IS SUPPLEMENTARY
