8. A gardener has 1000 plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the numb
of rows and the number of columns remain same. Find the minimum numbers
plants he needs more for this.
Answers
Total plants = Number of plants in 1st row
+ Number of plants in 2nd row
+ Number of plants in 3rd row
= 3+3+3
=3×3
=9
So we can say that
Total plants = Number of rows × Number of column
Given
Total plants = 1000
And number of rows is equal to the number of columns
let number of rows = x
number of column = x
Now,
Total plants = Number of rows × Number of
column
1000 = x × x
1000 =
= 1000
Finding square root of 1000 using long division
1000 ÷ 3 = quotient = 31 and remainder = 39
we need to find
the least number that must be added to 1000 so as to get a perfect square
Now,
Thus, we add
Therefore, the gardner need 24 more plants
