Answer:

650 cannonballs

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The stack of Cannonballs is really the sum of squares.

The top layer is 1^2

The second layer is 2^2

The Third layer is 3^2

....

layer 12 ( the bottom layer) is 12^2

The formula for this is

n*(n + 1)*(2n + 1)/6

n = 12

12(12 + 1)(2*12 + 1)/6

12 * 13 * 25/6

650

The sum of this pyramid is 650 Cannonballs

torisob [31]

Answer:

  • 32.50 is greater than 32.46 because 32.50-32.46=0.04 > 0.  And 32.50 is less than 32.56 because 32.56-32.50=0.06>0
  • 32.51 is greater than 32.46 because 32.51-32.46=0.05 > 0.  And 32.51 is less than 32.56 because 32.56-32.51=0.05>0

And the difference between 32.51 and 32.50 is 32.51-32.50=0.01
