Does X signify the width of each tile?
\n" ); document.write( "The total area was \"A%5Btot%5D=6%2A5\"
\n" ); document.write( "The tile area was \"A%5Btile%5D=3X\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the number of tiles by the area of the tile to get the total area,
\n" ); document.write( "\"30=10%283X%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"30=30X\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"X=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Each tile was 1 foot wide.\r
