Answer 2

What is general formula for the area of a square?

Answer 3

Side times side

Answer 4

ok, so if a side in this problem is ` 2 a^2 b `

Then the area = \((2a^2b)(2a^2b)\)

Answer 5

we want to simplify that

Answer 6

do you have any ideas on how to simplify expressions like that?

Answer 7

Yeah that would be

2*2=4 a^2 * a^2 = a^4 and b*b=b^2

4a^4b^2 ?

Answer 8

perfect!! :)
