the area of a square can be represented by the expression X to the 10th. Which my normal represents the side of the square?

x^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the area of a square can be found by squaring one of its side lengths, we can set up this equation:

(x) ^2 = x^10

Using properties of exponents, I know that I can turn the exponent of a similar base from 2 to 10 by multiplying it by 5. Therefore, I know that the side length of this square is x^5.
