First, let's look at the formulas for the area of square and area of the rectangle.
And what this exercise states is that the areas are the same. So:
Now put in the data.
Solve for :
The side of the square garden plot is 4 meters.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
Mean of the data set in the dot plot would be: 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know that Mean from the dot plot can be obtained by:
Please check the attached figure where the dot plot is also plotted.
From the dot plot, it is clear that
There are 3 dots at 1.
There are 4 dots at 2.
There are 3 dots at 3.
There are 4 dots at 4.
There are 5 dots at 5.
There are 3 dots at 6.
All we have to do is to add the dots and divide the sum by the number of addend dots.
In other words:
There are 3 dots at 1 ⇒ 1+1+1
There are 4 dots at 2 ⇒ 2+2+2+2
There are 3 dots at 3 ⇒ 3+3+3
There are 4 dots at 4 ⇒ 4+4+4+4
There are 5 dots at 5 ⇒ 5+5+5+5+5
There are 3 dots at 6 ⇒ 6+6+6
As there are total 22 dots.
And the sum of all the dots with respect to their plot number = 79
i.e. 1+1+1+2+2+2+2+3+3+3+4+4+4+4+5+5+5+5+5+6+6+6 = 79
Thus
Mean of the data set in the dot plot = 79/22
= 3.6
Therefore, Mean of the data set in the dot plot would be: 3.6
