Check as shown. The center of the collage will be a square photo that has Margie is designing a collage that will be shaped like a parallelogram square tiles that each have an area of 0.0625 square foot. How many an area of 0.25 square foot. This will be surrounded by painted, whole tiles does Margie need to cover the collage? 3.19 ft Chow 3.6 ft 3.25 ft P = h. b P = 3,19 x 3.6​

Answer:

First, we need to find the area of the parallelogram-shaped collage. Using the formula for the area of a parallelogram (A = b x h), we get:

A = 3.19 ft x 3.6 ft

A = 11.484 ft²

Next, we need to figure out how many tiles with an area of 0.0625 square foot make up 1 square foot. We can do this by dividing 1 by 0.0625:

1 ÷ 0.0625 = 16

So there are 16 tiles with an area of 0.0625 square foot in 1 square foot.

To find out how many tiles with an area of 0.25 square foot we need to cover the collage, we can divide the area of the collage by the area of each tile:

11.484 ft² ÷ 0.25 ft² = 45.936 tiles

Since we can't have a fractional tile, we need to round up to the nearest whole tile:

46 tiles

Therefore, Margie needs 46 whole tiles to cover the parallelogram-shaped collage.
