Question

Maureen plants tulips in a rectangular flower bed that is 2 to the 3rd power feet wide and 2 to the 4th power feet long.

What is the area of the flower bed?

Answer 1

The area would be 128ft^2 because 2^4 is 2x2x2x2 and 2^3 is 2x2x2 and if you multiply them you get 128ft6=^2

Answer 2

Answer:
`128\ ft^2`

Explanation:

The length of the rectangular flower bed=
`2^4\ ft=2*2*2*2=16\ ft`

The width of the rectangular flower bed=
`2^3\ ft=2*2*2=8\ ft`

We know that the area of rectangle is given by

Area =
`length* width`

Therefore, the area of the flower bed=
`16*8=128\ ft^2`

Thus, the area of the flower bed=
`128\ ft^2`
