Answer:
20 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of bags Huma has : 4
No. of tiles in one bag: 6
Total no . of tiles in 4 bag = 4 * No. of tiles in one bag
= 4*6 = 24
No of tiles left with huma = 4
Let x be the no of tiles used to cover rectangle
Hence,
sum of no. of tiles left with huma and no of tiles used to cover rectangle should be equal to Total no . of tiles in 4 bag
mathematically
no. of tiles left with huma(4) + no of tiles used to cover rectangle (x) = Total no . of tiles in 4 bag (24)
4 + x = 24
subtracting 4 from both sides
4 + x -4 = 24 - 4
=> x = 20
Thus, 20 square inches tiles are used to cover the rectangle.
This means that area of rectangle is 20 square inches .
