Question

A group of 169 students needs to be seated in a square formation for a

yearbook photo. Solve the equation N² = 1,024 to find how many students
should be in each row. ASAP

Answer 1

We have a group of 169 students that needs to be seated in a square formation. Then, the number of rows has to be the square root of 169 :-

`r = √(169) = 13`

Then, a square of 13 rows and 13 columns will fit the 169 students.

If the number of students is 1024, then the number of rows N can be calculated as :-

`{N}^(2) = 1024`

`N = √(1024)`

`N = 32`

Final Answer :-

169 students will seat in a 13×13 formation.

1024 students will seat in a 32×32 formation (N=32)
