Answer 1

To calculate the total amount of tiles needed for the pattern, first calculate the area of each individual tile in the pattern.

For the large square tile:
Area = side x side = 6 x 6 = 36 square units

For the rectangular tile:
Area = length x width = 3 x 6 = 18 square units

Therefore, the total area of the pattern is:
36 (1 large square tile) + 18 (2 rectangular tiles) = 54 square units

So, the home remodeler would need 54 square units of the tile to create the pattern.
