Marissa's mom offered her three different options for her weekly allowance. Her three options are: A. √36 x 2^2 dollars a week B. √9 x √121 dollars a week C. √169 x 2 dollars a week How much would she make with each option? Which option should she chose? Explain your work.
She should chose option B because she would earn $33 a week (√9 = 3, √121 = 11, and 3 x 11 = 33). If she chose option A, she would only make $24 dollars (√36 = 6, 2^2 = 4, and 6 x 4 = 24), and if she chose option C, she would only make $26 a week (√169 = 13, and 13 x 2 = 26).

Explain why we call it a "Perfect Square." Be specific!
When finding the area of a square, you multiply length times width. In a square, all four sides are equal. Therefore, when you find the area of a perfect square, you are multiplying the same number by itself.
