Exponents Intro With Practice (Autosaved)

The document discusses exponents. It defines exponents as small numbers written above and to the right of a base number that indicate how many times the base is multiplied by itself. Exponents tell the power to which the base is raised. Common examples include squaring (exponent of 2) and cubing (exponent of 3). The document provides examples of writing exponents in standard form by multiplying out the base the number of times indicated by the exponent. Exponents are often used in area and volume formulas to indicate squared or cubed units.

AREA PROBLEMS TO SHOW THE
FEET ARE SQUARED

Length x width = area 15ft.


A pool is a rectangle
Length = 30 ft. 30ft
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. 10
Width = 10 cm. 10
Height = 20 cm. 10
Volume =

20 x 10 x 10 = 2,000 cm.
HERE ARE SOME AREAS
CHANGE THEM TO EXPONENTS

40 feet squared = 40 ft. 2

56 sq. inches = 56 in. 2


38 m. squared = 38 m. 2

56 sq. cm. = 56 cm. 2

30 feet cubed = 30 ft.
26 cu. inches = 26 in. 3
44 m. cubed = 44 m.3
56 cu. cm. = 56 cm. 3
