we have been asked to find the sum of the series

As we know that a geometric series has a constant ratio "r" and it is defined as

The first term of the series is 
Geometric series sum formula is

Plugin the values we get

On simplification we get

Hence the sum of the given series is
Answer:
The answer is 161.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation: The top half of the kite is 6 in times 17 in because 8.5 + 8.5 = 17 so its 102. Half of 102 is 51 so 51 is the area of the top half. The bottom half is 13 in times 17 in which equals 221. Half of 221 is 110.5. Then 110.5 + 51 = 161.5... So your answer is 161.5 square inches.
