a rectangular lot with a dimension of 5m by 8m is to be fenced
\n" ); document.write( " and tiled.
\n" ); document.write( " determine the perimeter fence in terms of yard and number of tiles needed if the owner prefers an 8 in by 8 in tile.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert to yards:
\n" ); document.write( "1.094 * 5 = 5.47
\n" ); document.write( "1.094 * 8 = 8.752
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2(5.47) * 2(8.752) = 28.444 yds is the perimeter, (28 yds 16 inches)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area in square inches
\n" ); document.write( "5.47 * 8.752 * 36 * 36 = 62044 sq/inches
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Each tile is 8*8 = 64 sq/inches
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "62044/64 = approx 970 tiles required
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
