Mr. Daniels is building a clubhouse for his children. He has decided that the floor will be square with an area of 64 square feet. Write this number using a power greater than 1 and a lesser base.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

The area of the square floor  = 64 sq. ft

Now, as given the floor is in the shape of a square.

Let us assume the side length of the floor = k ft

Area of a square  = (Side) x (Side)

                              = k x k   = 64 sq ft

⇒ k ²  =  64  = (8) ²

⇒ k   = 8 ft

Hence, 64 sq ft   = ( 8 ft) ²

Here, base  = 8 and power = 2, which is greater than 1.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
