\n" ); document.write( "(20+2*2)(15+2*2)
\n" ); document.write( "24*19=456 m^2 total area of veranda plus the addition.
\n" ); document.write( "456-300=156 m^2 area of the addition.
\n" ); document.write( "156/(2*2)=156/4=39 2X2 m tiles will do the job.
\n" ); document.write( "NOTE: one tile will have to be cut in half.
