Answer:

\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Series 5+11+17+...+251

To find:

  • Summation notation of the given series

Summation Notation:

\displaystyle \large{\sum_{k=1}^n a_k}

Where n is the number of terms and \displaystyle \large{a_k} is general term.

First, determine what kind of series it is, there are two main series that everyone should know:

  • Arithmetic Series

A series that has common difference.

  • Geometric Series

A series that has common ratio.

If you notice and keep subtracting the next term with previous term:

  • 11-5 = 6
  • 17-11 = 6

Two common difference, we can in fact say that the series is arithmetic one. Since we know the type of series, we have to find the number of terms.

Now that brings us to arithmetic sequence, we know that first term is 5 and last term is 251, we’ll be finding both general term and number of term using arithmetic sequence:

<u>Arithmetic Sequence</u>

\displaystyle \large{a_n=a_1+(n-1)d}

Where \displaystyle \large{a_n} is the nth term, \displaystyle \large{a_1} is the first term and \displaystyle \large{d} is the common difference:

So for our general term:

\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+(n-1)6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+6n-6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=6n-1}

And for number of terms, substitute \displaystyle \large{a_n} = 251 and solve for n:

\displaystyle \large{251=6n-1}\\\displaystyle \large{252=6n}\\\displaystyle \large{n=42}

Now we can convert the series to summation notation as given the formula above, substitute as we get:

\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)

Let us set up some variabe:

  • height: h
  • base: b

Use the known information:

  • b = 2h + 8

Now lets find the area

   Area = (1/2) * b *h = (1/2) * h * (2h + 8)

Hope that helps!

Please help thank you.

I believe that through deductive reasoning angle O is 64 degrees. The reason is it's bigger than angle R so that rules out 32 and 16 degrees, but it's not obtuse, so that rules out 128 degrees, thereby leaving you with 64. Hope this helps :)
