Answer:
[tex]Blue = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Yellow = 1ft^2[/tex]
[tex]Blue = 8z^{-1[/tex]
Required
Evaluate Blue when z = 9
To do this, we simply substitute 9 for z in [tex]Blue = 8z^{-1[/tex]
[tex]Blue = 8 * 9^{-1[/tex]
Convert indices to fraction
[tex]Blue = 8 * \frac{1}{9}[/tex]
[tex]Blue = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Hence, the blue section has an area of [tex]\frac{8}{9}ft^2[/tex]
