Answer:
340 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of rectangle = 2 x (L+W) = 2L + 2W = 74 .....(1)
cost of two length : $1 x 2L
cost of two width: $3.50 x 2W
($1 x 2L) + ($3.50 x 2W) = $159
2L + 7W = 159 ....... (2)
(2) - (1) ... 5W = 85
W = 17
L = (74 - 2 x 17) / 2 = 20
dimension = 17 x 20 = 340 ft²
125
To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term
1000/2000 = 1/2
We multiply each term by 1/2
2000, 1000, 500
To find the next term 500*1/2 = 500/2 = 250
To find the 5th term
250*1/2 = 125
