Question

Moesha has 196 pepper plants that she wants to plant in square formation. How many peppers plants should she plant in each row?

Answer 1

14 plants in each row

Explanation:

Moesha has 196 pepper plants that she wants to plant in square formation.

Plant in square formation. The number of side equal.

Let n number of row and each has n plants in each row.

So, Total number of plant = n × n

n × n = 196

n² = 196

Taking square root both sides

`n=√(196)`

n = 14

Hence, The number of row is 14 and each row has 14 plant.

Answer 2

Hey there!!

In order to solve this question, we take the area as 196 as these are the total number of plants to cover a specific place.

The formation must be in a square formation

area of a square = ( s ) ²

s = side

or the number of plants in a row

s² = 196

s = √196

s = 14

There are 14 plants in each row

Hope my answer helps!
