Algebra.Com's Answer #192970 by richwmiller(17219) You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are making the same mistakes as last time plus one new one! \n" ); document.write( "^ doesn't mean square \n" ); document.write( "^2 is squared \n" ); document.write( "^3 is cubed \n" ); document.write( "^4 is to the fourth power \n" ); document.write( "3.14 *7.5*7.5 \n" ); document.write( "This time you forgot to square the 7.5 \n" ); document.write( "which you should have written 3.14*7.5^2 \n" ); document.write( "and once again it is pi not pie!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so no it is not right! \n" ); document.write( "3.14 *7.5*7.5 \n" ); document.write( " not 3.14 *7.5 \n" ); document.write( "You did learn to square the meters this time. \n" ); document.write( " |
