Quilt squares are cut on the diagonal to form triangular quilt pieces. The hypotenuse of the resulting triangles is 16 inches long. What is the side length of each piece?

To do this problem you would need to have at least one side length AND the hypotenuse to figure out the other side length.

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
