if each polyp is .12 in diameter how many polyps would fit in an area of coral reef that is 1 foot long by 1 foot wide
------------------------
The number that can fit along the length is 12 in/0.12 in = 100
The number that can fit along the width is the same.
---------------
The total number is 100^2 = 10,000
