i actually don’t really know the formula because my teacher didn’t really emphasize it for a test but she did go through this topic, so you might have to need someone else to help you out in order to break down the formula and stuff

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 their sum is 54
According to your formula-
54×54/9=2916/9=324

#

√(60/8)≈2.7

You need to do the squares before the sum, remember order of operations. For example: $(2+3)^2=5^2=25$ but $2^2+3^2=4+9=13$
