We know that
the formula of the the sum of the arithmetic sequence is
Sum=n*(a1+an)/2

n=36
a1=3
a36=?

find a36
an=a1+(n-1)*d

for n=2 a2=9
9=3+(2-1)*d----> 9=3+d----> d=6
so
for n=36
a36=a1+(36-1)*6----> a36=3+35*6----> a36=213

Sum=n*(a1+an)/2-----> 36*[3+213]/2----> 3888

the answer is
3888

Trava [24]

Answer: 43,2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bf 3\sqrt{216 }=3\cdot 6\sqrt{6}=18\sqrt{6} \approx43.2 \\\\ \sqrt{216} =\sqrt{ 2^{3}\cdot 3^3}=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 3^2\cdot 3\cdot 2}=3\cdot 2\sqrt{3\cdot 2} =6\sqrt{6}$
