Can you explain to me how exponents work?

You can't combine exponents when the bases aren't the same.

  "x" is where the base is

For example:

    (the bases are x and y)

When an exponent is multiplied directly to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together.

For example:

 You can look at it like this:  

When a variable with an exponent is multiplied by a variable with an exponent, you add the exponents together.

For example:

When an exponent is divided by an exponent, you subtract the exponents.

For example:

When an exponent is negative, you move the number and its exponent to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.

For example:

or

step-by-step explanation:

there is a formula i can give you:

it is r^2*n*sin(360/n) divided by 2 where r represents the "radius" and n is the number of sides.

plug them in:

(10sqrt(3))^2*6*sin(360/6) divided by 2

100*3*6*sin(60) divided by 2

900*sin(60)

900*sqrt(3)/2

450*sqrt(3)

approx is 779.4 cm^2
