It the perimeter of a square is 40in How many square tiles with 1in sides is needed to cover its area?

The area would be 100. so would you need 100 tiles?

yes

Right.

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

To find the number of square tiles with 1in sides needed to cover the area of a square, you need to divide the area of the square by the area of one tile.

Given that the perimeter of the square is 40in, we can calculate its side length by dividing the perimeter by 4 (since a square has four equal sides).

Perimeter of square = 40in
Side length of square = Perimeter / 4 = 40in / 4 = 10in

Now that we know the side length of the square is 10in, we can calculate its area by squaring the side length:

Area of square = Side length * Side length = 10in * 10in = 100in²

Next, we divide the area of the square (100in²) by the area of one tile (1in²) to find the number of tiles needed to cover the square:

Number of tiles needed = Area of square / Area of one tile = 100in² / 1in² = 100 tiles

Therefore, you would need 100 square tiles with 1in sides to cover the area of the square.
