Question

A square room has a tiled floor with 144 square
tiles. How many tiles are along an edge of the
room?

Answer 1

Answer:

36 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since “along an edge of the room” is synonymous with perimeter, 144 is now the present number we need to divide. Since the room is a square, it has 4 equal sides. So, we have to divide 144 (perimeter), by 4, in return, we get 36 tiles.

Answer 2

There would be 12 tiles along an edge of the room
