Question
The top of Kevin's dining room table is 4 feet long, and 3 feet wide. Kevin wants to cover the middle of the table with tiles. He plans to leave a 6 inch border around the edge of the table and tile in the center. How many square feet of tile will he need?
Answers
Reiny
so the area of the table to be tiled is
4ft - 2(6inches) by 3ft - 2(6inches)
= 3 ft by 2 ft.
and that area is 6 ft^2
4ft - 2(6inches) by 3ft - 2(6inches)
= 3 ft by 2 ft.
and that area is 6 ft^2
