Answer:
The paper is 80ft^2 so your answer would be 80 / 2n
Step-by-step explanation:
2^n pieces
80 / (2^n) in²
If she cuts the paper in half 1 time, she will have 2 pieces.
If she cuts the paper in half 2 times, she will have 4 pieces.
If she cuts the paper in half 3 times, she will have 8 pieces.
So the pattern is 2^n.
The original area is 80 in². Divided by 2^n pieces means each piece has an area of 80 / (2^n) in².
start by diving 5 from each side so you are lrft with x on the left side, 40/5=8. now our equation is x=8 and that's the answer!
this is the correct graph
