Answer:
It will take 12 sheets of tile to cover the whole counter.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start by dividing the counter into 2 rectangles.
Area of the top rectangle
=length⋅width
=2⋅4
=8 ft
Area of the bottom rectangle
=length⋅width
=2⋅5
=10 ft
We can find the total area of the counter by adding.
8 +10=18 ft
Each sheet covers 1.5\text{ ft}^21.5 ft
2
1, point, 5, space, f, t, start superscript, 2, end superscript. To find the total number of sheets needed to cover the whole counter, we can divide.
18/1.5=12 .
