Answer:

Hello,

742/27 (ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]h_1=14\\\\h_2=\dfrac{14}{3} \\\\h_3=\dfrac{14}{9} \\\\h_4=\dfrac{14}{27} \\\\[/tex]

[tex]d=14+2*\dfrac{14}{3} +2*\dfrac{14}{9} +2*\dfrac{14}{27} \\=14*(1+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{2}{9} +\dfrac{2}{27} )\\=14*\dfrac{53}{27} \\=\dfrac{742}{27} \\[/tex]
