    42 plants

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Dimensions are missing.

    Suppose a right triangle has a base of length 7yards and a height of 24 yards.

    As you know, Area of triangle can be determined by

    Area of triangle 'A' = 1/2 x b x h = 1/2 x 7 x 24

    A = 84 yards²

    Now she wants 2 plants for each square yard of area

    therefore, if the area is 84 yards²:

    number of plants are 84/2=> 42 plants

    Thus, She wants 42 plants in the garden
