Starting row has four. Each row after adds for. How do I figure out the total for 55 rows
Notice that the first row = 4
And the next row has 8
And the next 12, etc.
So...we have
4(1) + 4(2) + 4(3) +..........+ 4(55) =
4 [ 1 + 2 + 3+......+ 55]
And the sum in the brackets is equal to .... (55)(56)/2 = 1540
So, 4 times this = 6160
