well, it's 5 trees away, so 5*4 = ___ m
Super bad
To find out how far the sixth tree is from the first tree, we need to consider the distance between each pair of adjacent trees.
Given that there are six trees and they are planted 4 meters away from each other, we can calculate the total distance covered by all the trees except the last one.
Since there are five gaps between the trees, we multiply the number of gaps by the distance between each gap:
5 gaps * 4 meters per gap = 20 meters
This 20 meters represents the total distance covered by the first five trees.
To determine the distance of the sixth tree, we need to add this distance to the 4 meters separating the last gap from the sixth tree:
20 meters + 4 meters = 24 meters
Therefore, the sixth tree is 24 meters away from the first tree.
