Angela wants to retile the backsplash in the kitchen using 4in. by 4in. tiles. What is the area of each tole in square feet?
4" = 1 /3 ft
4" x 4" = (1/3 ft)(1/3 ft) = 1/9 ft^2
(1/3) * (1/3) = 1/9 square foot
To find the area of a 4 inch by 4 inch tile, you need to convert the measurements to feet.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so the tile dimensions in feet would be 4/12 feet by 4/12 feet.
Simplifying, this becomes 1/3 feet by 1/3 feet.
To find the area, you multiply the length by the width.
1/3 feet multiplied by 1/3 feet equals 1/9 square feet.
Therefore, each 4 inch by 4 inch tile has an area of 1/9 square feet.
To find the area of each tile in square feet, we first need to convert the measurements from inches to feet.
1 inch = 1/12 feet
So, the size of each tile in feet is:
Length = 4 inches * (1/12 feet/inch) = 4/12 feet = 1/3 feet
Width = 4 inches * (1/12 feet/inch) = 4/12 feet = 1/3 feet
Now, to find the area of the tile, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = Length * Width = (1/3 feet) * (1/3 feet) = 1/9 square feet
Therefore, the area of each tile is 1/9 square feet.
