Question 993938: Cody built a pyramid of Lego. He rectangular Lego that were four bumps by two bumps. He started with one Lego in the top level. Underneath that he put in as many Lego as needed to leave one row of bumps all the way around the outside on each level. He was able to make ten layers on his pyramid before he ran out of Lego. The inside of the pyramid is completely filled in with Lego, many which are not visible to someone looking at the top of the pyramid.
a. How many Lego are in the Pyramid?
