45

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Understand the problem and set up the equation.

    Let the number of rows be xx.
    According to the problem, each row contains as many plants as the number of rows. So, the number of plants in each row is also xx.
    The total number of plants is the product of the number of rows and the number of plants in each row.
    Total plants = Number of rows ×\times Number of plants in each row
    Total plants = x×x=x2x \times x = x^2.

    We are given that the total number of plants is 2025.
    So, we have the equation:

    x2=2025x^2 = 2025
  2. Find the value of xx by taking the square root of 2025.

    x=2025x = \sqrt{2025}
  3. Calculate the square root of 2025 using prime factorization.

    First, find the prime factors of 2025:

    2025=5×4052025 = 5 \times 405 405=5×81405 = 5 \times 81 81=3×2781 = 3 \times 27 27=3×927 = 3 \times 9 9=3×39 = 3 \times 3

    So, the prime factorization of 2025 is 3×3×3×3×5×53 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5.
    We can write this as 34×523^4 \times 5^2.

  4. Group the prime factors into pairs to find the square root.

    x=34×52x = \sqrt{3^4 \times 5^2} x=(32)2×52x = \sqrt{(3^2)^2 \times 5^2} x=32×51x = 3^2 \times 5^1 x=9×5x = 9 \times 5 x=45x = 45
  5. State the final answer.

    The number of rows is 45, and the number of plants in each row is 45.

    The number of rows and the number of plants in each row is 45.
