Answer 1

Keywords:

Square tiles, design, width, long, area, inches

For this case we have square tiles. Then, for a certain design, 8 square tiles of width and 8 square tiles of length were placed, knowing that each square tile has an area of ​​1 square inch. We want to know Julia's design area.

So, if each square tile used to make the design has an area of ​​1 square inch, then it is 1 inch wide and 1 inch long each.

The area of ​​a square tile is given by: $A = width * long$

So if $A = 1$ the $width = 1$ and$long = 1$,

$A=1*1=1$

• If the design has 8 square tiles long, then the design length is $l = 8 * 1 = 8$inches

• If the design has 8 square tiles in width, then the width of the design is $w = 8 * 1 = 8 inches$

Thus, the design area is given by the area of ​​a square:

$Area = l * w$

$Area = 8 inches * 8 inches\\Area = 64 square inches$

Answer:

The design area is 64 square inches
