Explanation:

Step1: Identify the sequence type

The balloon's rise in feet per minute: 90, 120, 150,... This is an arithmetic sequence with first term \(a_1 = 90\) and common difference \(d = 30\) (since \(120 - 90 = 30\), \(150 - 120 = 30\)).

Step2: Determine the number of terms (assuming we need to find total rise after, say, 10 minutes? Wait, the original question seems cut off, but looking at options, let's assume we need total after 10 minutes? Wait, no, maybe the question is "How many feet does it rise in 10 minutes?" Let's check the arithmetic series sum formula. The sum of an arithmetic series \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a_1+(n - 1)d]\). Wait, but maybe the question is about 10 minutes? Wait, no, let's check the options. Wait, maybe the full question is "How many feet does it rise in 10 minutes?" Let's compute for n=10. \(a_1 = 90\), d=30, n=10. \(S_{10}=\frac{10}{2}[2\times90+(10 - 1)\times30]=5[180 + 270]=5\times450 = 2250\)? No, that's not matching.

The nth term \(a_n=a_1+(n - 1)d=90+(n - 1)30 = 60 + 30n\). The sum \(S_n=\sum_{k = 1}^{n}a_k=\sum_{k = 1}^{n}(60 + 30k)=60n+30\sum_{k = 1}^{n}k=60n + 30\times\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}=60n+15n(n + 1)=15n(n + 5)\).
