Question 563477: A farmer has a square garden that is 21 ft. along each side. He wants to put a post at each corner, and one every three feet. How many posts will he use? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Count for the 1st corner where you start.
Count to get to the next corner
Count to get to the 3rd corner
Count to get to the 4th corner
The 5th corner is where you started,
so only count to finish
There are 28 posts
