Question

A factory that produces washing machines likes to use exponents as dimensions.The washing machines have the dimensions a*6 by b*4 by 3b*3 What is thevolume of a washing machine?

Answer 1

You can find the volume using the following formula:

V=w*h*l

Where:

w=width=a⁶

h=height=b⁴

l=length=3b³

Keep in mind this property:

x^y * x^z = x^(y+z)

Therefore:

V= a⁶ * b⁴ * 3b³ = 3 a⁶ b⁷
