Answer:
2.5/yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Every year the height of the tree goes up by 2.5 ft.
You can tell that by doing this
12-9.5=2.5
9.5-7= 2.5
7-4.5= 2.5
I hope this helps! tell me if I need to explain more!
Answer:
Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²
Step-by-step explanation:
After 1 fold width or length reduces to half.
Area = Length x width
So after 1 fold area will reduce to half.
So we have

Initial area = 8.5 x 11 = 93.5 inch²
Here the paper were folded completely in half, length is reduced to half and width reduced to half, that is
Number of folds = 2

Area after 2 folds = 23.375 inch²
Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²
