Find the area in the figure

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we're given that the notation produces a number less than the product of and raised to the power. Let the number produced be . As a mathematical equation, we can write this production as

For , we can assign:

Substituting these values into , we get:

Add 2 to both sides:

Take the square root of both sides:

For , there are two cases:

Therefore, we have:

The only answer choice applicable is .
