Question

576 plants are to be planted in a garden in such a way that each row contains as many plants as the number of rows. Find the number of rows and the number of plants in each row.

Answer 1

24 plants and 24 rows

Explanation:

Since the number of plants and rows is the same a number squared is 576

so x²=576

so x=24

24 plants and 24 rows

Answer 2

Let x = number of rows and y = number of plants.

(x)*(y) = 576

Information provided says x is same as y thus we can state equation as the following
(x)*(x) = 576 or x^2 = 576

Solve for x, sqrt of 576 which is 24

x = y = 24. Therefore 24 plants in 24 rows
