Question 24
Diana has a plot of land as shown below. The lines indicate the paths along and inside the plot of land. The plot of land has 5 paths and each path is 10 metres long. She wants to plant trees along all the paths such that on each path, the trees are 5 metres apart. What is the greatest number of trees she can plant?
Interpretation used by the source: trees need not be planted at the endpoints or intersections; the 5-metre spacing is measured along each individual path.
Enter a whole number without units. The original answer sheet uses four digits with leading zeros (for example, 7 as 0007); leading zeros are optional here.
