Marcus loves baseball and wants to create a home plate for his house. marcus needs to calculate the area of the home plate at the ball field so he can reconstruct it when he gets home. calculate the area of the polygon.

pentagon with square measuring 7 inches by 4 inches and two triangles with heights of 6 inches and 5 inches.

50 in2
59 in2
85 in2
90 in2

a - base

b - exponent

so,

the base is 8the exponent is 3the exponent tells you to multiply 8 together three timesthe expanded form is 8*8*8

B. 16is the absolute value

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
