Calculate the total volume of concrete required to build a terrace with 15 steps, each 50m long.

Question

Edzy · Accepted Answer

The total volume of concrete required to build a terrace with steps can be calculated by finding the sum of an arithmetic progression where the first term is 50 (length of the first step), the common difference is 50 (difference in length between steps), and the number of terms is 15. Using the formula for the sum of an AP, we get 15/2 * (2*50 + (15-1)*50) = 1125 cubic meters.
