Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

The side lengths and areas of some regular polygons are shown in the table below which expressions can be used to find the area in square units of a similar polygon with a side length of N units?

Answer 1

Number 2,
`n^(2)`

Explanation:

The table shows at the top of the screen has a very specific pattern, when comparing side length and area.

When the side length is 4 the area is 16

When the side length is 5 the area is 25

What is happening?

They are being squared(Multipled by itself).

See here:

4*4 = 16

5*5 = 25

Understand how the table is working?

The table is a side to area comparision of a polygon.

The question asks to find the area of a similar polygon, if a side length is n.

Because we are squaring the side length, the answer is:

`n^(2)`

Answer 2

n^2

all the numbers on the right are squares of the numbers on the left

squares means the number times the same number
