Answer:

650

Step-by-step explanation:

1st row has 1 ball

2nd row has 4 balls

3rd row has 9 balls

4th row has 16 balls

We can see that the number of balls is the square of the row number. There are a total of 12 rows. So, rest of the rows has:

5th row has 25 balls

6th row has 36 balls

7th row has 49 balls

8th row has 64 balls

9th row has 81 balls

10th row has 100 balls

11th row has 121 balls

12th row has 144 balls

If we add up all those, we get total number of balls
