If the perimeter of a square floor tile is about 122 centimeters, what is the approximate perimeter of the tile in inches?
Each side is √122 cm
I know √121 = 11
so the side is appr 11 cm
and the perimeter would be appr. 44 cm
(actual answer = 44.18...)
144
Ah, the joy of converting units! Alright, let's embrace the mathematical circus, shall we? To convert centimeters to inches, we need to factor in that there are approximately 2.54 centimeters in an inch. So, if the perimeter of the square floor tile is 122 centimeters, it would be roughly 122/2.54 inches long.
Now, let's bring out the juggling balls and calculate this! 122 divided by 2.54 equals approximately 48.03 inches. So, the approximate perimeter of the tile in inches would be around 48.03 inches. Ta-da!
To find the approximate perimeter of the tile in inches, we need to convert the measurement from centimeters to inches.
To convert centimeters to inches, we use the following conversion factor: 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.
First, we find the length of one side of the square tile. Since a square has all its sides equal, we divide the perimeter by 4 (as a square has 4 equal sides).
122 centimeters ÷ 4 = 30.5 centimeters
Next, we convert the length from centimeters to inches. Using the conversion factor, we divide the length in centimeters by 2.54.
30.5 centimeters ÷ 2.54 = 12 inches (rounded to the nearest inch)
Therefore, the approximate perimeter of the square tile in inches is 12 inches.
