Question

Raj builds a side table in the shape of a cube. Each edge of the cube measures 30 inches. Raj wants to cover the top and four sides of the table with ceramic tiles. Each tile has an edge length of 5 inches. How many tiles will he need?

Raj will need tiles to cover the table.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A(total) = 5 x
`(30 in)^(2)` = 4500
`in^(2)`

A(tile) =
`(5 in)^(2)` = 25

n = 4500/25 = 180

Raj will need 180 tiles.
