Question

The sixth grade art students are making a mosaic using tiles in the shape of right triangles.Each tile has leg measures of 3 centimeters and 5 centimeters.I f there are 200 tiles in the mosaic what is the area of the mosaic.

Answer 1

Am = 1500 cm²

Explanation:

If you mean leg around the right angle a = 3 cm and b = 5 cm then :

Formula for calculating area of the right triangle is:

A = a · b / 2 since we have 200 triangles, area of the mosaic is:

Am = 200 · A = 200 · a b / 2 = 200 · 3 · 5 / 2 = 1500 cm²

Am = 1500 cm²

God with you!!!
