First, calculate the total area of the kitchen floor:
Area = 15 feet * 17 feet = 255 square feet
Next, calculate the total area covered by the stove and refrigerator:
Stove area = 3 feet * 4 feet = 12 square feet
Refrigerator area = 4 feet * 5 feet = 20 square feet
Total area covered by stove and refrigerator = 12 square feet + 20 square feet = 32 square feet
Subtract the area covered by the stove and refrigerator from the total kitchen floor area to find the area needing tile:
255 square feet - 32 square feet = 223 square feet
Therefore, 223 square feet of tile will be needed to cover the kitchen floor not counting the area used by the stove and refrigerator.
Area = 15 feet * 17 feet = 255 square feet
Next, calculate the total area covered by the stove and refrigerator:
Stove area = 3 feet * 4 feet = 12 square feet
Refrigerator area = 4 feet * 5 feet = 20 square feet
Total area covered by stove and refrigerator = 12 square feet + 20 square feet = 32 square feet
Subtract the area covered by the stove and refrigerator from the total kitchen floor area to find the area needing tile:
255 square feet - 32 square feet = 223 square feet
Therefore, 223 square feet of tile will be needed to cover the kitchen floor not counting the area used by the stove and refrigerator.
