Question

The perimeter of a square room is 52 meters. What is the cost of tiling it at $5 per square meter?

Answer 1

it would cost $260 per tile

Answer 2

First we have to find the area. To do that, we first have to find the side lengths of the square. Since a square has all four sides same length, we can find this by dividing: 52/4 = 13

Now we'll find the area in square meters: 13 * 13 = 169
So the area is 169 square meters.
So to find out how much that will cost, we will multiply the number of square meters by the amount it cost per square meter: 169 * $5 = $845

So it will cost $845
