The ratio is common, so you could write:
a1 * r^4 = a^5 (you do r^4 because there are 4 times you need to multiply by the ratio to get from a1 to a5)
Plug in the values:
3 * r^4 = 48
Divide by 3:
r^4 = 16
Take the fourth root of both sides:
r = 2
The common ratio is 2.
If PQ is 14, each segment, PR and RQ will be 7.
14 = PR + 7.
2 inches in between each, start off on the edge go in 3 inches secound brace, than finsh on the final edge
