"The side of a square is Three raised to the five halves power inches. Using the area formula A = s2, determine the area of the square."

Let the side of a square be $$3^{\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }}.$$

mathmale · Answer

You want the area, and the formula for that is $$A=s^2$$

mathmale · Answer

Substitute the above expression for s into the formula for area and evaluate the area.
