Exponents Are Often Used in
Area Problems to Show the
Feet Are Squared
Length x width = area 15ft.
A pool is a rectangle
30ft
Length = 30 ft.
Width = 15 ft.

Area = 30 x 15 = 450 ft.
Exponents Are Often Used in
Volume Problems to Show the
Centimeters Are Cubed
Length x width x height = volume
A box is a rectangle
Length = 10 cm.
