Question

Square tiles cover the floor of an office. There are 16 rows of tiles. There are 8 tiles in each row.

Each tile has an area of 1 square foot.what is the area of the the entire floor?

Answer 1

what is the area of the the entire floor?

Area = Length X Width = 16 X 8 = 128 SQ FT

Or, you could count each one individually. LOL

For example,

ROW 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 1st row is 8

ROW 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 2 rows is 16

ROW 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 3 rows is 24

ROW 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 4 rows is 32

ROW 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 5 rows is 40

ROW 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 6 rows is 48

ROW 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 7 X 8 = 56

ROW 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 8 X 8 = 64

ROW 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 9 X 8 = 72

ROW 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 10 X 8 = 80

ROW 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 11 X 8 = 88

ROW 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 12 X 8 = 96

ROW 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 13 X 8 = 104

ROW 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 14 X 8 = 112

ROW 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 15 X 8 = 120

ROW 16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 16 X 8 = 128

Each ROW has 8 tiles or 8 SQ FT of area.

Since there are 16 ROWS with 8 tiles per row,

then add 8 16 times or just multiply 8 X 16 or

16 X 8.

16 ft X 8 ft = 128 sq ft

ANSWER: 128 sq ft

Therefore, the area of a RECTANGLE is the LENGTH times the WIDTH.

Hope this helps LISETH.
