Answer:
C. [tex] 2^{\frac{8}{9} [/tex] square inches
Explanation:
Area of a square = s²
Where,
[tex] s = 2^{\frac{4}{9}} [/tex] inches
Plug in the value
Area = [tex] (2^{\frac{4}{9}})2 [/tex]
Applying the power of a power rule, we have:
Area = [tex] 2^{\frac{4*2}{9} [/tex]
Area = [tex] 2^{\frac{8}{9} [/tex] square inches
