there are already six squares, find the sum of the areas of all squares
in square inches. thank you Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the side of the outer most square is 8
area = 64
the side of the first inner square =
=
Area of first inner square = 32
Every inner square is half in area of the outer square
6 squares
54,32,16,8,4,2
Add them up 116 in^2
