A square tile in a kitchen has an area of 121 square inches. what is the length of one side of the square tile in inches? is the tile smaller or larger than a one foot by one foot tile?
The area of a square tile is given by the formula: area = side^2.
In this case, we are given that the area of the tile is 121 square inches.
Therefore, we can solve for the side length by taking the square root of the area: side = √121 = 11 inches.
Since one foot is equal to 12 inches, the tile with a side length of 11 inches is smaller than a one foot by one foot tile.
