Question

Esponse:

A square consists of 25 equal size blue
square tiles. If we need to make a border
around the square using white tiles of the
same size, how many white tiles will we
need?
Answer:

Answer 1

To make a border around the square using white tiles, we will need 20 white tiles in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a border around the square, we need to add one row of white tiles on each side of the square. Since each side of the square has 5 tiles, we will need a total of 5 white tiles for each side. Since there are 4 sides in a square, we will need 5 white tiles for each side, totaling 20 white tiles in all.
