<h3>Answer:</h3>
4 m
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
If we let h represent the height of the sail, then its width is h/2. The area of the sail is given by ...
... A = (1/2)wh
Filling in the given information, we have
... 4 m² = (1/2)(h/2)h
... 16 m² = h² . . . . . . multiply by 4
... 4 m = h . . . . . . . . take the square root
Equation for n-th term of geometric sequence:
a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)
For 4th term,
a(4)=a(1)r^(4-1)
1/2=4*r^3
∛(1/8) = ∛(r^3)
r=1/2
For 10th term,
a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)
a(10)=4*(1/2)^(10-1)
a(10) =4/(2^9) =( 2^2)/(2^9)= 1/(2^7) = 1/128
