Martin wants to put tile down on his kitchen floor. The floor is 9 feet long and 8 feet wide. Each tile is 6 inches by 6 inches. How many tiles does he need to cover the floor

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of the floor (l) = 9 feet = 9 × 12 inches = 108  inches and

The breadth of the floor (b) = 8 feet = 8 × 12 inches = 96 inches

To find, the total number of tiles = ?

∴ The area of the floor = The length of the floor (l) × The breadth of the floor (b)

=  108  inches ×  96 inches

Also,

The area of tiles = 6  inches × 6 inches

∴ The total number of tiles

= 3 × 96

= 288

∴ The total number of tiles = 288

Thus, "288 tiles" does he need to cover the floor.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
