once she completes a wall, sabrina notices that the number of squares along each side of the wall equal to the number of square centimeters in each tiles area. write an equation for the number of squares on the wall, SW, in terms of c. Then solve for the number on the wall

Answer:

width of each tile are equal to x cm.

SW = (number of squares on one side)^2

SW = x^2

But we also know that the area of each tile is equal to x^2 square cm. Therefore, the area of the wall can be expressed as:

SW = A/x^2

Where A is the total area of the wall.

SW × x^2 = A

SW = A/x^2

So the equation for the number of squares on the wall, SW, in terms of c, is:

SW = A/c^2

where c is the length and width of each tile in centimeters.

To find the actual number of squares on the wall, we would need to know the value of A and c.
