if a room is 12ft by 14ft how many square tiles do I need to cover the floor?
That depends upon the size of the tiles.
the tiles are 1sq. ft would I just multiply 12 times 14?
Yes. 12 * 14
thank you ms sue
You're welcome, Gianna.
To find the number of square tiles needed to cover a floor, you first need to calculate the area of the room. The area of a rectangle (like a room) is found by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the room is 12 feet and the width is 14 feet.
Area = Length * Width
Area = 12ft * 14ft
Area = 168 square feet
Now that you know the area of the room is 168 square feet, you need to determine the size of the tiles you are planning to use. Let's assume each tile is 1 square foot in size. To cover the entire floor, you will need as many tiles as the area of the room.
Number of tiles needed = Area of the room / Size of each tile
Number of tiles needed = 168 square feet / 1 square foot
Number of tiles needed = 168 tiles
Therefore, you will need 168 square tiles to cover the floor of a room that is 12ft by 14ft.
