Lucas bought square tiles to retile the lobby of Town Travel Agency. Each
side of a tile is 11 inches long. If Lucas
uses the formula for the area of a
square, A = s2, how many square
inches will each tile cover?
00 ft.?

121 in² ; 0.840 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Side length of square tile, s = 11 inches

The Area of a square = a² ;

Where a = side length

Hence, we Can get the area of the square tile using the area of square formula :

Area of square tile = 11² = 121 in²

Area in feets :

1 ft² = 144 in²

x = 121 in²

144 x = 121

x = 121 / 144

x = 0.840 ft²
