Question 1: What is the length of the square tile in inches
Question 2: Is the tile smaller or lager than a one foot by one foot tile?

1 answer

1. The length of one side of the square tile can be found by taking the square root of the area:

Side length = √121 = 11 inches

Therefore, the length of one side of the square tile is 11 inches.

2. The tile with a side length of 11 inches is smaller than a one foot by one foot tile. This is because one foot is equivalent to 12 inches, so a one foot by one foot tile would have a side length of 12 inches.
