Problem
A number of linked rings, each 1 cm thick, are hanging on a peg. The top ring has an outisde diameter of 20 cm. The outside diameter of each of the outer rings is 1 cm less than that of the ring above it. The bottom ring has an outside diameter of 3 cm. What is the distance, in cm, from the top of the top ring to the bottom of the bottom ring?
