Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the sequence 10, 6, 2, -2, -4, ...
Rewrite it as

The points on the coordinate plane are
(see attached graph).
Since
given sequence is arithmetic.
Triangle area = 8 x 3/2
= 12
12 x 2 = 24cm^2 for 2 triangles
Height of rectangle must be found, so use pythag on triangle
a^2+ b^2 = c^2
16 + 9 =c^2
C=5
A= 5 x 12
= 60
60 x 3 triangles in total is 180cm^2
180cm^2 + 24cm^2 = 204cm^2
Ans: 204cm^2
60 pencils. It’s a ratio. 60/96 can be simplified down to 5/8
The answer to your question is b.
