How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
?
12 ft
2 ft
2 ft
4 ft

The amount of carpet needed to make the hole is 44 ft²

Area is the amount of space that a two dimensional object or figure occupies.

The area of the big rectangle = length * width = 12 * 4 = 48 ft²

Area of hole = length * width = 2 * 2 = 4 ft²

Amount of carpet required = 48 ft² - 4 ft² = 44 ft²

The amount of carpet needed to make the hole is 44 ft²

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
