Question

A section of a rectangular floor is covered with square floor tiles as shown below

Answer 1

`(20)/(9)` square feet

Explanation:

We are given that

Side of square tile=
`(1)/(3) foot`

Total number of tiles used in rectangular floor=20

Area of square=
`(Side)^2`

Area of square tile=
`((1)/(3))^2=(1)/(9)`square feet

Area of rectangular floor covered by square tiles =Area of 20 square tiles

Area of rectangular floor covered by square tiles=
`20* (1)/(9)` square feet

Area of rectangular floor covered by square tiles=
`(20)/(9)` square feet

Hence, the area of rectangular floor covered by square tiles=
`(20)/(9)` square feet
