Answer 1

Answer:

Well it’s 2d and how many tiles in the rectangle is an area question

In this case we just multiply since w*l is area but in this case width is 6 and length (height) is 12

so 6*12= 72

Answer 2

Answer:

72 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you have to multiply. Why?

Think of a graph. To find the area we need to use the formula length times width. (a = l x w)  So we use 6 tiles wide and 12 tiles high as out length and width.

6 = width

12 = length

Now multiply

6 x 12 = 72

Hope this helps! Please comment if it does or not and if it needs adjustment. :)
