Answer:
1)He will use 144 squares in his design
2)He will use 36 squares in his design
Step-by-step explanation:
1) There is 12 squares going horizontally and 12 squares going vertically meaning the total amount of squares needed is:
12 x 12 = 144 inch squares
2) If he wants to cover a smaller box that is 1/2 feet big than he would take the square of 1/2 which is 1/4 and multiple it to the original answer to get the answer of the new question
144 x (1/4) = 36 inch squares
