Derek wants to construct a square box stall for each horse that is to be housed in a stable. He wants all of the box stalls to have the same length on a side. Derek has a total area of 20,250 square feet in which to construct the box stalls. The equation for the side length, x, of a box stall in terms of the number of horses, n, the stable wants to house is x = √. If each box stall is 9 feet long on a side, the stable can house horses.

    The total area of the stable is 20,250 sq. ft.

    Let n = total number of box stalls.

    Each box stall is a square of length 9 ft.

    Total area = 9^2n = 81n ft².

    Therefore

    81n = 20250

    n = 20250/81 = 250

    Answer: 250 horses.
