Exercise 22 Page 3

Use the formula for area of a square and the rules for exponents.

36x^6 in^2

To find the area of a square given the length of a side, we need to apply the area formula.
A=s^2
A = ( 6x^3)^2
A = 6^2 * (x^3)^2
A = 6^2 * x^6
A = 36x^6
Therefore, the area of a square with side 6x^3 inches is 36x^6 square inches.
