A gardener organizes plants into rows to create a square formation but discovers that 15 plants are not included. If the total number of plants is 3984, then what is the number of plants in each row?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 63.
Total plants = 3984
Extra plants = 15
Plants in square formation = 3984 – 15 = 3969
Plants in each row = √3969 = 63
