Question

Scott's window store made a mosaic for the community center. The mosaic had an 8 × 8 array of different color square tiles. If each tile is 2 2/3 ft long, what is the area of the whole mosaic?

Answer 1

455.1111 feet²

Explanation:

Given that :

Array of mosaic = 8 * 8 color square tiles

Length of each tile = 2 2/3 feets long

The length of mosaic = length per tile * Number of array :

2 2/3 feets * 8 = 21.3333 feets

This corresponds to the side length of the mosaic

The Area of the whole mosaic:

Using the area of square formula = s²

Where, s = side length

s = 21.33333 ft²

s² = 21.33333²

s² = 455.1111²
