Question

A hall has a capacity of 2704 seats. If the number of rows is equal to the number of seats in each row, then find the number of seats in each row

Answer 1

Given: Total number of seats = 2704

Suppose number of seats in each row be ‘x’.

As per the condition given in the question,

Total number of seats = a × a

2704 = x²

By taking square root on both side,

x = `sqrt(2704)`

x = `sqrt(52 xx 52)`

x = `sqrt(52^2)`

x = 52

Hence, the number of seats in each row is 52.
