Very interesting wording but from what I gathered, scaling down by a factor of 1/10 would be 64- 6.4(1/10 of 64) so your final answer would be 57.6
Hope this explanation helps ;)
Let x be the length and y be the width.
We know already

Area of the base

Area of the sides:

We get the equation

We will solve the system:

The above system has no real solution, please check your values.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
By FOIL method, 
Actually, this answer would be true. Why?
The first equation is: a(sub <em>n</em>) = 8, 13, 18, 23
The second is: a(sub 1)=8 ; a(sub <em>n</em>)= a(sub <em>n</em>-1)+5
if you wish to find the second term, plug two into the equation for <em /><em>n</em>
8+5=13
to find the third, plug the second term, 13, in for <em>n.</em>
13+5=18.
Hope this helped! I know it's a bit on the late side, but at least you can get the general idea!
