Question 1060420: Steve wishes to build a tower out of blocks so that each row has two more than the row above it. If steve begins with 60 blocks how many complete rows of this tower will he be able to build?
So I drew a picture and started with one block for the first row then three blocks for the second row (because each row has two more) I found out that 60 blocks doesn't give me complete rows and ended up with only 7 complete rows (50 blocks) but I don"t know if I did it right.
