Tori examined the pattern of exponents in the table.

The value of b = 1/36

As exponent decreases, each previous value is divided by 6

If the table was extended, the value of 6^-3 would be 1/216

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a table containing power of 6

We will use negative rule of exponent to write the equivalent of negative power of 6

b^{-n}= 1 / b^{n}

we know that

so

= 1/6

and

So,

=

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
