A piece of wrapping paper has the dimensions below, what is the area? (area is length times width) 2 1/2 Feet wide and 5 3/5 Feet long.

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

8+10

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 4 by 2 and 5 by 2
