Question 1028750: A gardener arranges some flowering plants in a bed to form a perfect square, but finds that he needs 11 more plants to complete the work. If there are 60 plants in each row of the square, how many plants did he start with?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If there are 60 plants in each row of the square, then the square is 60 x 60 plants, or 3600 plants total. If the gardener is short 11 plants, then he started with 3600-11 plants, or 3589 plants!!!!!!!!
