Q. Irene's window store made a mosaic for the community center. The mosaic had a 7×7 array of different color square tiles. If each tile is 143ft long, what is the area of the whole mosaic?
Calculate Tile Area: Now, we calculate the area of one tile. Area of one tile = (47 ft)×(47 ft)=1649 ft2
Find Total Mosaic Area: Next, we find the total area of the mosaic by multiplying the area of one tile by the total number of tiles in the 7×7 array.Total number of tiles = 7×7
Calculate Total Tiles: We calculate the total number of tiles.Total number of tiles = 7×7=49
Multiply for Mosaic Area: Finally, we multiply the area of one tile by the total number of tiles to get the area of the whole mosaic.Total area of the mosaic = Area of one tile × Total number of tilesTotal area of the mosaic = 1649 ft2×49
Calculate Final Mosaic Area: We calculate the total area of the mosaic.Total area of the mosaic = 1649 ft2×49=162401 ft2
