document.write( "Question 236109: A square tile floor has 29 square tiles along the two main diagonals. How many square tiles in the entire floor?
\n" );
document.write( "Solution:\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Let the side length of each tile be 'a'
\n" );
document.write( "Since all the tiles are square,
\n" );
document.write( "Diagonal length of each tile =
\n" );
document.write( "So the diagonal length of the entire floor = \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the side length of the entire floor.
\n" );
document.write( "So the diagonal length of entire floor in terms of x =
\n" );
document.write( "==> =
\n" );
document.write( "==> =
\n" );
document.write( "So the number of tiles = = 29. \n" );
