I'll assume the length = 20 and the width = 10
-------------------------------
A) first 5 terms of the sequence showing the lengths of the flyer
20 ; 20*1.1 ; 20*1.1^2 ; 20*1.1^3 ; 20*1.1^4
--------------------------------------------------
B) first 5 terms of the sequence showing the widths of the flyer
10 ; 10*1.1 ; 10*1.1^2 etc.
-------------------------
C)first 5 terms of the sequence showing the area of the flyer
10*20 ; 10*20*1.1^2 ; 10*20*1.1^4 ; ect.
-------------------------------
D) What is the common ratio of these sequences.
