In a march pass where the commander arranged the soldiers in a square, with 101 soldiers in a row, the total number of soldiers can be calculated by finding the square of the number of soldiers in a row.
1. Since the soldiers are arranged in a square formation, the number of soldiers in each row equals the number of rows, which means there are 101 rows of soldiers.
2. To find the total number of soldiers, we need to square the number of rows (101 soldiers in a row).
3. The total number of soldiers can be calculated by multiplying 101 by 101.
4. Therefore, in this scenario, there are 101 x 101 = 10,201 soldiers in total.
By squaring the number of soldiers in a row, you can determine the total number of soldiers when arranged in a square formation.
