A.
Because in mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.
Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:

It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.
From the question, we have the following ratio:
I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.
Now the areas of S is 
Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is

The points if the slope is 4 and the point is (1,-1) are (1,-1) and (2, 3)
<h3>What are linear equations?</h3>
Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change, slope or gradient
<h3>How to determine the points?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Slope = 4
Point = (1, -1)
The slope of 4 means that as x changes by 1, the value of y changes by 4
This means that, we have:
(x + 1, y + 4)
Substitute the known values in the above equation
(1 + 1, -1 + 4)
Evaluate
(2, 3)
Hence, the points if the slope is 4 and the point is (1,-1) are (1,-1) and (2, 3)
