a square lot of to be planted with santan plant the side of a lot measures 10meter if plants will be planted 20centimeter. How many plant must be plant in all
What is the diameter of the sunlight captured by the plant? (they can't overlap).
note; (This species doesn't take well to transplanting.)
To find out how many plants must be planted in the square lot, we need to determine the area of the lot and divide it by the area of each plant.
1. Calculate the area of the square lot:
The side of the square lot measures 10 meters, so the area of the lot is calculated as:
Area of a square = side * side
Area of the lot = 10 meters * 10 meters = 100 square meters
2. Determine the area occupied by each plant:
The plants will be planted 20 centimeters apart, so each side of the square formed by the plants will be 20 centimeters less than the side of the lot. Therefore, each side of the square formed by the plants will measure (10 meters - 0.2 meters) = 9.8 meters.
Thus, the area occupied by each plant is:
Area of a square = side * side
Area of each plant = 0.098 meters * 0.098 meters = 0.0096 square meters
3. Calculate the number of plants that can be planted:
Number of plants = (Area of the lot) / (Area of each plant)
Number of plants = 100 square meters / 0.0096 square meters ≈ 10417 plants
Therefore, approximately 10,417 plants must be planted in total.
