Answer: Choice C) 9m^8
============================================================
Explanation:
Each side of the square is the same, so we have length = width in this case.
Length = 3m^4
Width = 3m^4
Area = (length)*(width) = (3m^4)*(3m^4) = (3*3)*(m^4*m^4) = 9m^8
Note how m^4*m^4 leads to m^8. We add the exponents.
The general rule is a^b*a^c = a^(b+c).
Answer: 9m^8
*Use the distributive property.
(3m^4)^2 = 3^2 * (m^4 * m^2) = 9m^8
*Use the distributive property.
(3m^4)^2 = 3^2 * (m^4 * m^2) = 9m^8
