Question

11. Higher Order Thinking Cora makes this

design with square and triangular tiles.
What is the area of the design? How did
you calculate your answer?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

With no photo of the design is imposible to calculate exactly the design area. However:

We know that the area of a square is:

`A_(sq)=L^2` where L is the leght of the square's side

Also, the area a triangle is:

`A_(tr)=(h*b)/(2)` where h is the height and b is the base (see the figure)

So, the total area, assuming that all square tiles are equal between them (the same for the triangular ones):

`A_(total)=A_(sq)*n_(squaretiles)+A_(tr)*n_(triangtiles)`
