Question

PLEASE HELP! 5 MINS! You are given an n×n board, where n is an even integer and 2≤n≤30. For how many such boards is it possible to cover the board with T-shaped tiles like the one shown? Each cell of the shape is congruent to one cell on the board.

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

30/2 = 15

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

Hey, sorry if this is a little late, but think of the tiles in an arrangement where 4 fit into a rectangle type thing. Now, since you want to find the maximum number of boards, find the closest number that you can multiply by 4 to get something close to 30. Here, you can see that 7x4=28, which is both an even number and the closest number to 30 as you can get. So, the answer is 7.
