Answer:

he only answer that makes sense is 15 feet....

The larger right triangle has leg 20 feet by 15 feet, while the smaller has legs 8 and x

20/15 = 8/x

20x = 120

x = 6

Write a function that is passed in a positive integer, n, and sum up all the digits from 1 to n, doubling the even numbers. In o
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Written in Python

def sums(n):

    total = 0

    for i in range(1,n+1):

         if i%2 == 0:

              total = total + i*2

         else:

              total = total + i

    return(total)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is written in Python

def sums(n):

This initializes total to 0

    total = 0

This iterates through the integers that makes up n i.e. 1,2,3.....n

    for i in range(1,n+1):

This checks if current digit is even

         if i%2 == 0:

If yes, it adds the double of the digit

              total = total + i*2

         else:

If otherwise, it adds the digit

              total = total + i

This prints the calculated sum or total

    return(total)

To call the function from main, use the following:

print(sums(n))

Where n is a positive integer. i.e. n \geq 1
