    T (1) = 1/2 (1) ^2 + 1/2 (1) = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1

    T (2) = 1/2 (2) ^2 + 1/2 (2) = 1/2 (4) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

    T (3) = 1/2 (3) ^2 + 1/2 (3) = 1/2 (9) + 3/2 = 9/2 + 3/2 = 12/2 = 6

    .

    .

    T (10) = 1/2 (10) ^2 + 1/2 (10) = 1/2 (100) + 5 = 50 + 5 = 55

    Therefore, the number of lights in triangular rigs with 1 to 10 rows are: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55
