A rectangle has a length of 3/81 and a width of 3^2/3 inches. Find the area of the rectangle. A. 3^2/3 inches squared B. 3^8/3 inches squared C. 9 inches squared D. 9^2/3 inches squared

exampleA rectangle has a length of the cube root of 81 inches and a width of 3 to the 2 over 3 power inches. Find the area of the rectangle

OpenStudy (jacob902):

1. area of rectangle is the length l times the width w 2. length l is cube root of 81 and the 3 ^(2/3) and be simplified to cuberoot((3^2) which is cube root of 9. now they have the same power. 3. (81^(1/3))*(9^(1/3)) is (729^(1/3)) by the exponential law. 4. Using a calculator or your head you get that the cube root of 729 is simply 9.

OpenStudy (jacob902):

3^(2/3) is the width

so its A right?

OpenStudy (jacob902):

think about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

OpenStudy (jacob902):
