Sandy is tiling her floor woth square tiles.The kength one of the sides of each tiles is3/4 foot.Her floor is 9 feet by 10 feet .What is the area of the tile she using to tile her floor

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Since the tiles are square, all of their sides are the same. We see that one of the side lengths is 3/4. So, to find the area of the square, we square 3/4 (multiply it by itself)

3/4 × 3/4= 9/16

Therefore, the area of Sandy's tile is 9/16 square feet.

BONUS

We can also find the area of our floor, which is 9 feet by 10 feet, so it is 90. We can then divide by 9/16 to figure out how many tiles we need.

90/9/16=160

So, you would need 160 of these tiles to fill the floor.

I hope that this helps!
