this should help you

Answer 2

@january123 Im particularly confused with the squares (powers)

Answer 3

i think "powers" just means multiply like...2*2 not 2+2

Answer 4

yep, so example \[648\pi ft^2 \times 12 inches^2/1 ft^2\]

Answer 5

The product of powers rule assists with simplifying exponents. Let's first define some terms as they relate to exponents. When you have a number or variable raised to a power, the number (or variable) is called the base, while the superscript number is called the exponent, or power

Answer 6

well, yes \(\large\color{slate}{ 1~{\rm ft}^2=144~{\rm inch }^2 }\)

you know that \(\large\color{slate}{ 1~{\rm ft}=12~{\rm inch } }\)
and if you wanted to find the area of the square of 1ft by 1ft, you would say that it is
\(\large\color{slate}{ (1~{\rm ft})^2 }\)
\(\large\color{slate}{ 1^2~{\rm ft}^2 }\)
\(\large\color{slate}{ 1~{\rm ft}^2 }\)

Now the same area of the square but in inches.
\(\large\color{slate}{ (12~{\rm inch })^2 }\)
\(\large\color{slate}{ 12^2~{\rm ft}^2 }\)
\(\large\color{slate}{ 144~{\rm ft}^2 }\)

THANK YOU KIND SIR! :D

Answer 18

no problem

Answer 19

@skullpatrol , @january123 thanks for additonal inforation ^_^

Answer 20

We know that \(\large\color{slate}{ 1~{\rm meter}= 100~{\rm cm} }\)

BUT
\(\large\color{slate}{ 1~{\rm meter}^2 \ne 100~{\rm cm}^2 }\)

INSTEAD
\(\large\color{slate}{ 1~{\rm meter}^2 \ne 100^2~{\rm cm}^2 }\)
(which becomes) \(\large\color{slate}{ 1~{\rm meter}^2 \ne 10,000~{\rm cm}^2 }\)

(Not writing \(\large\color{slate}{ 1^2 }\) because it is still \(\large\color{slate}{ 1 }\) )

Answer 21

this with meters is just an example
