\begin{array}{l l} \text{Column A} & \text{Column B} \\ 21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 & 5^3 \end{array}

Solution:

Concept:

The sum of consecutive odd numbers can be compared directly with a power value.

Explanation:

Column A is

21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29

Adding these terms gives

125

Column B is

5^3

Since

5^3 = 125

, both columns have the same value.

Thus, Column A

= 125

and Column B

= 125

Answer:
