Can you completely cover a 4 ft by 8 ft area with 3 ft by 3 ft tiles without cutting the tiles?

I can't.

To determine whether you can completely cover a 4 ft by 8 ft area with 3 ft by 3 ft tiles without cutting the tiles, you need to calculate the total area of the tiles and compare it to the area of the given space.

1. Start by calculating the area of the 3 ft by 3 ft tile:
Area of a tile = length x width = 3 ft x 3 ft = 9 ft²

2. Next, calculate the area of the 4 ft by 8 ft space:
Area of the space = length x width = 4 ft x 8 ft = 32 ft²

3. Now, calculate how many whole tiles can fit in the given space:
Number of whole tiles = Area of the space ÷ Area of a tile = 32 ft² ÷ 9 ft² ≈ 3.56 tiles

Since the number of tiles required is not a whole number, it means that you cannot completely cover the 4 ft by 8 ft area with 3 ft by 3 ft tiles without cutting them.
