Question

The side of a square measures 2x2y3. What is the area of the square if x = -2 and y = 2?

Really need help.

Answer 1

Side is 2x²y³.
Area of the square = side² = (2x²y³)² = 4x⁴y⁶ = 4(-2)⁴3⁶ = 11664

Answer 2

side of square 2x2y3
x=-2
y=2
plug in x and y
2(-2)2(2)3
=-4(4)3
=(-8)3
=24

24 is the measure of the side of the square but they are asking you for the area
an area of a square is
A=
`a^(2)`
so, A=
`24^(2)`
A=576

576 is the area of the square
