A square tile in the kitchen has an area of 121 square inches what is the length of one side of the square tile in inches is this tile smaller or larger than a one foot by one foot tile
To find the length of one side of the square tile, we need to find the square root of the area.
The area of the square tile is given as 121 square inches.
Thus, the length of one side of the square tile is √121 = 11 inches.
To determine if the tile is smaller or larger than a one-foot by one-foot tile, we need to convert the length of the square tile to feet.
Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the length of the tile in feet is 11 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 0.917 feet.
A one-foot by one-foot tile has a length of 1 foot.
Therefore, the 0.917 feet square tile is smaller than a one-foot by one-foot tile.
