B. At the end of the 3rd day students glued together all the pieces of the painted cardboard to form a large square mural and they cut the mural into 40 strips of equal sizes so they could move the mural. What is the area of each smaller strip of cardboard? Express the answer in decimal form.
Given the arithmetic sequence
3, 5, 7, 9, ..., 21
The first term a = 3 & a common difference d = 5 - 3 = 7 - 5 = ... = 2
If there are n number of terms in the above A.P. then last term l = 21 will be the nth term given as:
l = a + (n - 1)d
21 = 3 +(n − 1)2
n = 10
Hence the sum of given arithmetic progression (A. P.) up to 10 terms is given general formula.
Sn = n/2(a + l)
S10 = 10/2(3 + 21)
= 120
