in the following figure.

The distance between two plants is to be 5m, a basket filled with plants is kept at point A which is
10 m from the first plant. Dinesh has to take one plant from the basket and then he will have to
plant it in a row as shown in the figure and then he has to return to the basket to collect another
plant. He continues in the same way until all the flower plants in the basket. Dinesh has to plant
ten numbers of flower plants.

alpine tents are mostly used in hilly areas, as the snow will not settle on the tent and make it
damp. It is easy to layout and one need not use a manual to set it up. One alpine tent is shown
in the figure given below, which has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. Also, the
image of canvas on graph paper is shown in the adjacent figure.
