Answer:

22.5 square feet

Explanation:

The area covered by one tile is the product of its dimensions:

A = lw

A = (3/2 ft)(3/2 ft) = 9/4 ft²

The area covered by 10 tiles is 10 times the area covered by one tile. The area covered is ...

covered by tiles = 10 × 9/4 ft² = 90/4 ft²

covered by tiles = 22.5 ft²

22 1/2 square feet is the area covered by tiles.
