Question

amistre64 · Answer

first draw a square

second, put a post in each corner

third, we need to evenly fill in 5 new posts on each side to equal 7 per side

lastly, count the number of posts

Thank you I think there would 28

amistre64 · Answer

28 would be good if we leave the corners open

otherwise there would be 24 if we use posts in the corners

amistre64 · Answer

since the problem doesnt specify how to place the posts; 28 and 24 are equally valid in my opinion
