Question

Melissa wants to cover a square table with tiles. if she uses exactly 100 tiles, which could be the length of one side?

Answer 1

what is it then

Explanation:

Answer 2

The length of one side is 25 tiles

Explanation:

Given

`Tiles = 100`

Required

Determine the length of one side

The given parameter represents the perimeter of the table

Since the table is a square, then

`Perimeter = 4L`

Substitute 100 for Perimeter

`100 = 4L`

Solve for L

`L= 100/4`

`L = 25`

Hence:

The length of one side is 25 tiles
