You will need to factor to solve the quadratic equation

PLZ ANSWER

31 terms are required

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 1

d = 3 - 1 = 2

Sum = (n/2) [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]

Let n terms are required:

=> 961 = (n/2) [2(1) + (n - 1)2]

=> 961 = (n/2) [2 + 2n - 2]

=> 961 = (n/2) [2n]

=> 961 = n²

=> √961 = n

=> ± 31 = n

As number of terms can't be -ve, n = 31

trapezoid

step-by-step explanation:

first i plotted all my points on a grid graph

i made sure all of them were in the correct quadrant

then i saw it was a trapezoid or a quadrilateral
