Umm... I can't remember the exact formula for triangular series, but I know how to solve them without one. Help!

The n'th triangular number is given by n(n+1)/2

 

The sum of the first n triangular numbers is n(n+1)(n+2)/6

Yes, I suspected that the formula might be based off the area of any triangle whose perpendicular height is known (1/2*bh)

 

Anyway, Thanks
