Question

The sides of a square are five to the power of two fifths inches long. What is the area of the square?

five to the power of four fifths square inches
five to the power of four twenty fifths square inches
twenty five to the power of four fifths square inches
twenty five to the power of four twenty fifths square inches

Answer 1

`A = s^(2)`


`s = 5^(2/5) = (\sqrt[5]{5})^(2)`


`A = (\sqrt[5]{5})^(2))^(2) = 5^(4/5)in^(2) = 3.2639 in^(2)`

I hope that helps!
