Alumberyard worker is cutting three tree trucks into equal sections. the trunks measure 28 feet, 14 feet, and 42 feet. if the sections are as long as possible, how long should each section be?

The maximum length of each section should be 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Measures of trunks are 28 feet, 14 feet, and 42 feet.

We need to cut three tree trunks into equal section so that the size of sections are as long as possible.

So, we do H.C.F. of 28,14, and 42.

And H.C.F. of 28,14, and 42 = 14

So, the maximum length of each section should be 14 feet.

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

he kicked it up? is this the answer ?
