Verified Answer :

First you have to find the 20th term...
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
n = 20
a1 = 8
d = 8
now lets sub...
a20 = 8 + (20 - 1) 8
a20 = 8 + 19
8
a20 = 8 + 152
a20 = 160

s20 is the sum of all the number till 20.
so we will use the sum formula...
sn = n(a1 + an) / 2
s20 = 20 (8 + 160) / 2
s20 = 20 (168) / 2
s20 = 3360/2
s20 = 1680

any questions ?

Answer:

\(S_{20} =1680\).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 8 + 16 + 24 + 32 +…..

To find : Find S20

Solution : We have given 8 + 16 + 24 + 32 +…..

First term = 8.

Common difference = 16 - 8= 8

                                     24 -16 = 8.

Sum of n term ( \(S_{n} =\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1)d]\).

Where, a = first term ,  d =common difference .

For n = 20 , a = 8 , d = 8

\(S_{20} =\frac{20}{2}[2*8+(20-1) 8]\).

\(S_{20} =10[16+(19) 8]\).

\(S_{20} =10[16+152]\).

\(S_{20} =10[168]\).

\(S_{20} =1680\).

Therefore,4) \(S_{20} =1680\).
