What is the area of this figure?
1 square centimeter

8 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First, there are 4 whole squares in the center, meaning that there are 4 cm. If you then count the rest, there are 8 halves which is equal to 4 wholes. 4 plus 4 is 8.

This figure is composed of 4 full squares, and 8 triangles.

The area of each square is 1 cm^2

Each triangle is exactly half a square. So, the area of each triangle is half the area of a square.

Sum all the areas together and you'll be done

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
