how do I work this out?

The nth odd integer is 2n-1.
1 + 3 + 5 + ... + 179 = x
179 + 177 + ... + 1 = x
-----------------------------------
180 + 180 + ... + 180 = 2x
90·180 = 2x
x = 8100
1 + 3 + 5 + ... + 179 = x
179 + 177 + ... + 1 = x
-----------------------------------
180 + 180 + ... + 180 = 2x
90·180 = 2x
x = 8100
