Answer 1

Given:-

Zach is helping his dad tile a shower wall. He has enough tiles to cover an area of 42 square feet. The shower wall is 8 feet high and 4 feet wide.

To find:-

Do they have enough tiles to cover the area.

Since the height is 8 feet and wide is 4 feet, it is a rectangle.

So the formula to calculate area is,

$A=l\times b$

So now we substitute the value. so we get,

$\begin{gathered} A=8\times4 \\ A=32 \end{gathered}$

So the area is 32 square feet.

But zach has 42 square feet. So they have enough tiles could cover the area.
