Question

A sidewalk tile measures 4 feet by 5 feet. How many square inches are in its area?

Answer 1

Answer: Area = 2880 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation: The tile is measured in feet, but it requests the measurement of area in inches. So:

1 ft = 12 in

4 ft = 12*4 = 48 in

5 ft = 12*5 = 60 in

A tile has a rectangular shape. Its are is calculated as:

A = width * length

A = 48 * 60

A = 2880

The tiel's area is 2880 square inches.

Answer 2

Convert 4ft. and 5ft. to inches (48 and 60). then multiply your length by your width to find the area of the tile. 48*60=2,880sq in.
