Question

A General wishing to arrange his 5954 men in the form of a square found that 25 men were left out. How many were there in each row?

Answer 1

Answer:

77 in each row

Step-by-step explanation:

total men = 5954

men left out = 25

men remaining = 5954 - 25 = 5929

to find out the number of men in each row of a square arrangement we need to find the square root of 5929

5929 = 7 × 7 × 11 × 11

$\sqrt{5929} = \sqrt{7 \times 7 \times 11 \times 11} \\ \sqrt{5929} = 7 \times 11 \\ \sqrt{592} = 77$

therefore the number of men in each row will be 77
