Question

If 8 tiles, each of area $1\frac{1}{2}$ sq.units are joined together to make a pattern then find the total area of the tile pattern.

• A. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is A 12

Area of one tile

= $1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$ sq.units

$\therefore$ Area of one tile = $\frac{3}{2}$ sq.units

Hence, area of eight tiles (total tile area) = $8\times \frac{3}{2}=12$

$\therefore$ The total area of the tile pattern = 12 sq.units
