Question 897789: a rectangular garden which is 60 meters long has an area of 2880 sq. meter. the light pillars are installed at an interval of 6 meters along each length. How many light pillars are installed in the garden? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Along the length is simple to find. Cut the 60 into 6 parts, and you put 10+1 on each LENGTH, being here 22 pillars.
Be aware that the ends of each width now have their pillars already.
Width: ;
The width of the garden is 48 meters.
Cut 48 into increments of 6, and there are 8 of these increments. If placing pillars on all these width locations would be 9; but 2 on each width are already placed. This means you place 9-2=7 pillars on each width, or because TWO widths make the garden, 14 pillars.
