Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x 2=4
4x 2= 8
8 x 2= 16
16 x 2=32
32 x 2= 64
S = 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + 11 + 13 + 15
S = 15 + 13 + 11 + ... + 5 + 3 + 1
==> 2S = (1 + 15) + (3 + 13) + (5 + 11) + ... + (15 + 1)
There are 8 terms in the sum, so
2S = 8 * 16 = 128
S = 128/2 = 64
Given:
Level 1 : Length = 5 ft ; Width = 2 ft
Level 2 : Length = 6 ft ; Width = 2 ft
Level 3 : Length = 4 ft ; Width = 2 ft
Area = L x W
Level 1 = 5 ft * 2 ft = 10 ft²
Level 2 = 6 ft * 2 ft = 12 ft²
Level 3 = 4 ft * 2 ft = <u> 8 ft²</u>
Total Area 30 ft²
Outdoor carpet should measure 30 square feet to cover the hole.
