A new park will be 100 yds long and 85 yards wide. Trees will be plntd. alng the perim. of park....see below.

Question

at equal distances from each other and far apart as possible. How far apart can the trees be planted?

Please explain answer.

Answer 1

If distance is an overwhelming consideration, then one plant should be planted at each corner and one in the center of the park. That adds up to five plants. If you stated an optimal distance between plants, then I could do better than a trivial answer. I am not trying to facetious, I am trying to help. Perhaps you may wish to post a more specific question.
