Ed is building a model of a house with a flat roof, as shown in the diagram. There is a chimney through the roof. Ed will cover the roof with square tiles.

If the area of each tile is 1 square inch, how many tiles will he need?

You will need to find the area first so 50in x 40in =2,000in

Then find the area the chimney takes up. 4in x 3in = 12in

2,000in - 12in =1,988 tiles for the roof.
