The perimeter would be 40 m
Visualize the perimeter as a single line.
at each 20 cm intervals there would be a pot, that would be 40/.20
or 200 pots. Notice the first pot would be at 20 cm, not at 0
but if we form the square, the last pot on the line would fall on the 0 position
number of plants = 200
