We have the following [geometric ] pattern
22, 17.6 , 14.08
The common ratio is 17.6 / 22 = 4/5
So.....we want to find this
22(4/5)^n = 10
(4/5)^n = 10/22
(4/5)^n = 5/11 take the log of both sides
log (4/5)^n = log (5/11)
n * log (4/5) = log (5/11)
n = log (5/11) / log (4/5) ≈ 3.5
Thus...we need to round this up to 4
So....the 4th square will have a side length of < 10 inches
