PLEASE. NEED HELP. Find the sum.

Distribute the sum:

Use the following formulas:

In case you don't know where those formulas came from:

The first one is obvious; you're just adding n copies of 1, so 1 + 1 + ... + 1 = n.

The second can be proved in this way: let S be the sum 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n. Rearrange it as S = n + (n - 1) + (n - 2) + ... + 1. Then 2S = (n + 1) + (n + 1) + (n + 1) + ... + (n + 1), or n copies of n + 1. So 2S = n(n + 1). Divide both sides by 2 and we're done.

t = 3

step-by-step explanation:

put t = 3 in this expression :

(3²-1)(3²-2)(3² - 3)(3² - 4) = 8×7×6×5 = 56×30 = 1680

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
