Simplify y⁵ x y

or y⁵ times y

y^5 times y = y^6

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are multiplying numbers with the same base, you must add the exponents. The base just stays the same.

Let s = one side of the square
so s/4 = the shorter side of one of the rectangles while s = the longer side of a rectangle

10s/4 = the perimeter of one rectangle so
10s/4 = 25
       s = 10
4s = perimeter of the square
4(10) = 40 = perimeter of the square = your answer
