Answer 1

Answer:

he needs to buy 24 more plants because it needs to be a square no. 1024 is the sq of 32.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 1000 can be calculated by long division method

The remainder is 39. It represents that the square of 31 is less than 1000. The next number is 32 and 322 = 1024 Hence, number to be added to 1000 to make it a perfect square = 322 − 1000 = 1024 − 1000 = 24 Thus, the required number of plants is 24.
