Question

of rows and the number of columns remain same. Find the min
plants he needs more for this.

correct answer
​

Answer 1

Answer:

24 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of rows and number of columns remain same (equal) then the total number of trees will be in the form of perfect square (x² )  

As 1000 is not a perfect square, we first  need to check for a perfect square above and nearest to 1000.  

$31^{2} < 1000$

∴ $32^{2} - 1000$ ⇒ 1024 - 1000 = 24

So , the gardener  needs to add 24 more trees that the number of rows and  columns remain same.

Answer 2

He needs to add 24 more plants
