Question

Jody has two windows that are both squares. Let s represent the side length of one of the windows. write an algebraic expression with an exponent to represent the combined area of both the windows. Would it be s^2 or s^4?

Answer 1

Imagine that each window measures 5 feet on a side. So each window's area would be s^2 = 25 square feet. Two windows would be 50 square feet.

What is 5^4?

Answer 2

625

Answer 3

could you explain to me how you go your answer more in depth?

Answer 4

So --

2(s^2) = Area of 2 windows

Answer 5

thank you so much!!

Answer 6

You're very welcome.

Answer 7

Hi again!!! The area of jody's ceiling is 160ft. She is going to paint it and the paint that she is going to get says that it covers 300 ft. If the paint store associate recommends that jody should put 2 coats of paint on the ceiling... then will one can of paint be enough? I thought no but idk.. how to explain it

Answer 8

160 * 2 = _______ square feet

Is that more or less than 300 square feet?

Answer 9

320.. that is more than 300

Answer 10

Right. So 1 can would not be enough to paint the ceiling with 2 coats.

Answer 11

Thank you! Now if jody has 4 walls with an combined area of 672 ft... how many cans of paint will she need to do 2 coats of paint on each wall

Answer 12

And your answer is?

Answer 13

Oh yes!! I thought that it would be no because I thought that 4 cans would be enough to be able to do 2 coats... but idk if that is right

Answer 14

672 * 2 = 1,344 square feet.

Yes, 4 cans is needed.

Answer 15
