This is because you have to add it from all sides, the first prism is 144 cu and then the second one is, 120, and when you add both of those together you get 264

Thus the answer is....264

Answer: Side of largest square tile will be 105 feet.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

dimensions of the wall is 42 feet by 10 feet

So,

Length of wall = 42 feet

Breadth of wall = 10 feet

First we calculate the H.C.F. of 42 and 10,

which is 2 only.

The largest square tile side would be 2 feet.

Now, we find the number of tiles used,

Number of tiles =

$\frac{\text{Area of wall}}{\text{H.C.F. of }42\text{ and }11\times\text{ H.C.F. of }42\text{ and } 11}}\\\\=\frac{42\times 10}{2\times 2}\\\\=\frac{420}{4}\\\\=105$
