Question

A farmer wants to fence in a square pasture for his sheep. The length of one side of the pasture is represented by ^2^3. What term represents the area of the pasture?

Answer 1

4x^6

Explanation:

Area of the square pasture = L² where:

L is the

length of one side of the pasture

Given

L = 2x³

Area of the pasture = (2x³)²

Area of the pasture =2x³•2x³

Area of the pasture = 4x^{3+3}

Area of the pasture = 4x^6

Hence the area of the pasture is 4x^6
