0 hr = 1 acre, 1 hr = 5 acre, 2 hr = 9 acre, 3 hr = 13 acre, 4 hr = 17, 5 hr = 21 acre, 6 hr = 25 acre, 7 hr = 29 acre, 8 hr = 33 acre, 9 hr = 37 acre and 10 hr = 41 acres were consumed during each hour of the fire.
Given: Fire spread to 41 acres in 10 hours and each hour the spread is 4 acres more than the previous hour.
Let's say at 0th hour the forest fire was spread to only 1 acre.
Therefore,
At 1st hour, acres spread = 1 + 4 = 5 acres
At 2nd hour, acres spread = 5 + 4 = 9 acres
At 3rd hour, acres spread = 9 + 4 = 13 acres
At 4th hour, acres spread = 13 + 4 = 17 acres
At 5th hour, acres spread = 17 + 4 = 21 acres
At 6th hour, acres spread = 21 + 4 = 25 acres
At 7th hour, acres spread = 25 + 4 = 29 acres
At 8th hour, acres spread = 29 + 4 = 33 acres
At 9th hour, acres spread = 33 + 4 = 37 acres
At 10th hour, acres spread = 37 + 4 = 41 acres
The table of how many acres of the fire consumed at each hour is attached below.
