An acre field has 3 plants per hill. The rows are 3'6\" apart, with hills 3'6\" apart. **\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Calculate total number of plants.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3'6\" = 3.5 ft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "An acre = 43560 ft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p = number of plants.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Each plant has an area of 3.5*3.5 sq ft = 12.25 sq ft
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "43560/12.25 =~ 3555 plants
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
\n" ); document.write( "But, p might vary with the shape.
\n" ); document.write( "If the field is a triangle or a circle or some other shape the # can be different.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
