Answer :

Explanation

Since the tile is of the shape of a parallelogram then the total area covered by each tile will simply be

[tex]length\times breadth=1in\times6in=6in^2[/tex]

Therefore, the area covered by each tile will be 6 square inches

Part B

If we need to cover 1,728 square inches, then the number of tiles needed will be

[tex]\frac{1728}{6}=288\text{ tiles}[/tex]

Thus, we will need 288 tiles
