Question

A gardener wishes to plant 8289 plants in the form of a square and found that there were 8 plants left. How many plants were planted in each row?

Answer 1

No. of plants are planted = 8289 If 8289 plants are planted in a square shape, 8 plants are left. 

Then remaining plants = 8289 – 8 = 8281

∴ \(\sqrt{8281}\) = \(\sqrt{91\,\times\,91}\) = 91

∴ No. of plants for each row = 91 

∴ 8281 plants are planted in a square shape then no. of plants are planted for each row = 91
