Question

How many square tiles of length 1 feet are required to cover the given square patio?

• A. 12
• B. 24
• C. 64
• D. 144

Answer 1

The correct option is D 144

Length of the side of the patio = 12 feet
Area of the patio = Side × Side
= $12\times 12$
= 144 square feet

Length of the tile = 1 feet
Area = $1\times 1$ = 1 square feet

Number of tiles
= Area of the patio ÷ Area of 1 tile
= $144÷1$
= 144 tiles
