Home remodeler has chosen a tile pattern for a floor how much tile is needed to create the pattern? Two triangles 3 by 3 and 4 squares 3 by 3

Answer 1

To calculate how much tile is needed to create the pattern, we first need to calculate the area of each shape and then add them together.

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: 1/2 * base * height
Area of each triangle = 1/2 * 3 * 3 = 4.5 square units
Since there are two triangles, the total area of the triangles is 2 * 4.5 = 9 square units

The area of a square is simply side * side
Area of each square = 3 * 3 = 9 square units
Since there are four squares, the total area of the squares is 4 * 9 = 36 square units

Therefore, the total tile needed to create the pattern is 9 + 36 = 45 square units.
