Answer:
3^3 in = 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is given by the formula ...
A = LW
Filling in the given values, we can find the unknown.
3^7 in^2 = (3^4 in)×W
(3^7 in^2)/(3^4 in) = W = 3^3 in . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of W
The width of the tabletop is 3^3 = 27 inches.
___
The applicable rule of exponents is ...
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
