Iwill give brainliest. this is a 50 point question. , give accurate answer. raj builds a side table in the shape of a cube. each edge of the cube measures 25 inches. raj wants to cover the top and four sides of the table with ceramic tiles. each tile has an edge length of 5 inches. how many tiles will he need?

Each edge measures 5 inches
⇒ number of tiles that can be lined up along the edge = 5

Total number of tiles per surface = 5 x 5 = 25 tiles

Total number of surface = 5   ← (4 sides + the top)

Total number of tiles needed = 25 x 5 = 125

He needs 125 tiles.

Hoi!

First, we need to calculate the area. Since we are told that the edge of the table measures 25 inches, we square this number.

25^2 = 625

The area of each side is 625.

Now we find the area of each tile. Each tile's edge measures 5 inches.

5^2 = 25.

Now that we've found the area of each tile, we can find the number of tiles needed for the top.

Area of side/Area of tile = 625/25

The answer to this is 25.

Number of tiles needed for the top and four sides =

(1 + 4) * 25

5 * 25 = 125

Your answer is 125 tiles.
