Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
1 sheet is cut into 4
Each of the 4 is also cut into 4
Let number of cut = n
Using the Recursive geometric sequence relation ;
An = a1 * q^(n-1)
2nd cut :
A2 = 1/4 * (1/4)^(2 - 1)
A2 = 1/4 * 1/4
1/A2 = 1/16
A2 = 16
After the 4th cut ; n = 4 ;
A4 = 1/4 * (1/4)^(4 - 1)
A4 = 1/4 * (1/4)^3
1/A4 = 1/4 * 1/4^3
1 / A4 = 1/4 * 1/64
1/A4 = 1/256
A4 = 256 pieces
For. The 9th cut n = 9
A9 = 1/4 * (1/4)^(9 - 1)
A9 = 1/4 * (1/4)^8
1/A9 = 1/4 * 1/4^8
1 / A9 = 1/4 * 1/65536
1/A9 = 1/262144
A9 = 262144 pieces
