Soledad wants to make a frame for a square painting. The area of the painting is 2ft2. Soledad wants to know the perimeter of the painting. a) What is the exact perimeter? Show your work.

What is an approximation of the perimeter to the nearest tenth of a foot? Show your work.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
