Mr. loyd wants to fence his Square shaped land of 120 Sqft each side. If a pole is laid every 12ft how many poles do he need?

• 36.1st side 120/12=10 poles,2nd side (120/12)-1=9 poles,3rd side (120/12)-1=9 poles,4th side (120/12)-2=8,so totally 36 poles.....

• perimeter of sq=480
  total no. of poles required=480/12 =40

• a^2 = 120 sqft
  each side a= 10.95 ~ 11ft
  4*a= 4*11 = 44ft
  so pole needed 44/12=3.6 ~4 poles needed

• 100 is the answer..
  because, Land is a square shaped one and 120sqft each side...
  for every 12 ft one pole should be laid...
  It means 120*120 ft land...
  SO according to the above conditions, 10*10=100 poles should be laid
