Alex wants to arrange chairs in such a way that the number of chairs in a row is equal to the number of columns. He has ordered 5100 tables. a)How many more tables needed to arrange in such a way that he planned? Justify your answer
2)How many chairs can he remove to arrange in a way that he wants? Justify your answer.

84

59

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to have the same number of chayes in both rows and columns ;

If the Number of chairs per row = x ; then number of chairs per column = x

Then the total number of chairs needed = x * x = x²

Hence, if there are 5100 chairs ;

Number of chairs needed more ;

Take the square root of 5100 ;the round to the next whole number :

B.) For number of chairs to be removed ;

Take the square root of 5100 and round down to the whole number.

Hence,

A.) = √5100 = 71.414 = 72

72² - 5100 = 84

B.) 5100 = 71.414 = 71

5100 - 71² =
