Complete Question
Mr. Conner is placing stone tiles to make a patio. Each tile is 1 square foot. The drawing shows the dimensions of his patio. A quadrilateral is broken into a triangle and rectangle. The triangle has a base of 20 feet and a height of 6 feet. The rectangle has a base of 20 feet and a height of 12 feet. How many total stone tiles will Mr. Connor need for the patio?
Answer:
300 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we know that the patio is a combination of a triangle and a rectangle.
Step 1
Find the area of the shape
a) Area of the Triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height
Base = 20 feet
Height = 6 feet
Area = 1/2 × 20 × 6
Area = 60 square feet
b) Area of the rectangle
= Length × Breadth.
The rectangle has a
Base = Breadth = 20 feet
Height = Length = 12 feet
Area = 20 × 12 = 240 square feet.
Total Area of the patio
= Area of Triangle + Area of square
= 60 square feet + 240 square feet
= 300 square feet
Step 2
We are told that each stone tile = 1 square foot.
Hence, if the total area of the patio = 300 square feet, the number of stone tiles that would be used is
1 square foot = 1 stone tile
300 square feet = 300 stone tiles.
Therefore,the total stone tiles that Mr. Connor will need for the patio is 300 stone tiles.
