Question

Leo has 100 paving tiles in the shape of parallelograms as shown below. He plans to make a patio using these tiles. What will the area of the patio be?

1) 1,800 in.2
2) 2,050 in.2
3) 3,600 in.2
4) 5,100 in.2

Answer 1

Without the dimensions or area of one tile, the exact area of the patio made with 100 parallelogram-shaped tiles cannot be calculated. We would normally multiply the area of one tile by the total number of tiles to find the total area of the patio.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves determining the area of a patio made with 100 parallelogram-shaped paving tiles. To find the area of the entire patio, we would first need to know the area of one tile. Assuming this information was provided elsewhere in the material, we'd multiply that area by 100 since Leo has 100 tiles. Without the dimensions of the individual tiles or the area of one tile, it is not possible to calculate the exact area of the patio, therefore an accurate answer cannot be given with the information provided in the question.

However, to demonstrate understanding, if we had an individual tile with an area of X square inches, the total area of the patio would be 100 times X square inches. It is essential to have either the area of one tile or its dimensions to perform this calculation.
