That means the measure of a side is the square root of the area. Since the area is in square feet, the measure of a side will be in feet. If some number of tiles fits into some number of feet, then each tile must be #feet/#tiles feet on each side. That fraction times 12 is the number of inches that a side of each square tile measures.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Egw to Beta kai to Sigma \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
