Question

PE teacher wants to arrange maximum possible number of 6000 students in a field such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows if 71 were left out after arrangement
Hint: Use the area of a square and your knowledge of square roots also working steps to complete the following
​

Answer 1

Answer:

77 rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

6000 - 71 = 5929

So this number of students form a square.

As it is a square number of rows = number of columns, so:

Number of rows = √5929 = 77.

Answer 2

Answer:

77 rows and 77 columns

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract 71 from the 6000

6000 - 71 = 5929

$\text{Number of rows or columns = \sqrt{5929} }$

                                            = 77
