Amount of gaps -> 36m / 4m = 9
9 + 1 = 10 saplings.
The farmer will plant 10 saplings along the side.

How come u get 1??
Because for example if there are 2 saplings
saplings will be represented by X
X 4m X
saplings will be represented by X
X 4m X
so 4m will represent 2, because of the last ends of the sides.
Therefore 9 gaps will have 10:
X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X
X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X 4m X
