<em>Identify</em>

<em />\displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{125}<em />

<em />

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Rewrite:                                                                                                                \displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{5^3}
  2. Rewrite [Exponential Property - Rewrite]:                                                       \displaystyle 5^a = 5^{-3}
  3. Set:                                                                                                                    \displaystyle a = -3

How many square feet are in 100 m squared
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

100 Sq Mt = 1135.69 Sq Ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find how many square feet are in 100 m squared.

1 meter = 3.37 ft

1 metre x 1 meter = 3.37 x 3.37 Sq ft

1 Sq Mt = 11.3569 Sq ft

100 sq Mt = 100 x 11.3569 sq ft

100 sq mt = 1135.69 Sq ft

Hence

100 Sq Mt = 1135.69 Sq Ft
