A circular playground for a daycare center is to be covered with square tiles that are 9 inches on each side. The circle has a diameter of 12 ft. The tiles are packaged in boxes of 25 tiles. How many boxes of tiles are needed?

9 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 ft= 12 inches then with diameter of 12 ft, radius becomes 6 ft and converted to inches it's 6*12=72 in

Area of 1 tile= 9*9=81

Number of tiles=

Number of boxes= 202/25=8.08 boxes hence 9 boxes

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
