A farmer has 2000 plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the number of rows and the number of columns remain same. Find the minimum number of plants he needs more for this. 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given that the number of plants the farmer has is 2000

for him to plant in equal rows and column he needs an amount of plant the is a perfect square.

The closest number to a perfect square is 2500

Step two:

From the above figure which is 2500 plants, the farmer is able to plant 50 rows and 50 columns.

multiplying these values together will amount to 2500

Hence the farmer needs at least 500 plants to achieve this

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of plants = 2000

He wants to plant such that number of rows and column of plants remain the same, Find the minimum number of plants he needs more for this:

To obtain this,

We take the square root of 2000

Sqrt(2000) = 44.721359

Therefore, the number of columns and rows we need is a natural number whereby the square root of its square is perfect (that is leaves no remainder).

The minimum number will thus be ; the next natural number or integer after 44.721359, whish is 45

Taking the square of 45

45^2 = 2025

The minimum number of plants needed more is :

2025 - 2000 = 25 plants
