Question

Francesca's window store made a mosaic for the community center. The mosaic had a 6 × 6 array of different color square tiles. If each tile is 2 1 4 ft long, what is the area of the whole mosaic?

Answer 1

The correct value of the length of a side = 2¼ ft

Answer:

area of the whole mosaic = 182.25 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told it has a 6 x 6 array of different colour square tiles.

Which means it has 6 x 6 = 36 square tiles.

Area of square = L²

Where L is length of side

Now, since length of one tile is 2¼ ft long.

Thus, area of one square tile = (2¼)²

= 81/16 ft²

Since there are 36 tiles,

Thus ;

Total area ; 81/16 x 36 = 182.25 ft²
