    Think, another solution may be…..

    He planted 3 trees at the corners of an equilateral triangle. He built a mound in the middle and planted the 4th on the top of the mound so that it was the same distance from the other 3 trees. (on the points of a tetrahedron.)

    A tetrahedron (plural: tetrahedra) is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, three of which meet at each vertex. A regular tetrahedron is one in which the four triangles are regular, or “equilateral”, and is one of the Platonic solids.

    The tetrahedron is one kind of pyramid, the second most common type; a pyramid has a flat base, and triangular faces above it, but the base can be of any polygonal shape, not just square or triangular.

    So my inference to a pyramid meant the same….

    Hi,4 plants can be planted such a way in a Triangle with equal size arm and angle. 3 plants in three corners’point of triangle and the 4th plant at the centre of the triangle then the plants will be in equal distance from each other.
