Answer:
16 rows and the top row has 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First row = a1 = 20 logs
Common difference = a2 - a1 = 19 - 20 = -1
Find the nth term:
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
an = 20 + (n - 1)(-1)
an = 20 - n + 1
an = 21 - n
Find nth:
Sn = 200
Sn = n/2 (a1 + an)
200 = n/2 (20 + 21 - n)
400 = n(41 - n)
400 = 41n - n²
n² - 41n + 400 = 0
(n - 16)(n - 25) = 0
n = 16 or n = 25
When n = 16
a16 = 21 - 16
a16 = 5
when n = 25
an = 21 - 25 = -4 (rejected, an cannot be negative)
Answer: There are 16 rows and the top row has 5
Hope it helps ☺️☺️
