Question

Rondell covered a table top with 36 square tiles. Each tile measures 8 inches by 8 inches. What is the area of the table top?

Answer 1

Answer: 2,304 square inches

Explanation:

if there are 36 total tiles on the table, that means there are 6 on each side.

If each side meaures 8, then one side of the table is 48, and since the tikes are square, the other side of the table will be the same. 48 x 48=2,304

Answer 2

8x8 = 64 sq in per tile

64sq in x 36 tiles = 2,304 square inches
