Mitra used 156 white tiles of 2x2 cm and 76 black tiles of 2x3 cm to form a pattern with an area of 1092 cm²
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
Let x represent the number of white tiles and y represent the number of black tiles.
Area of white tiles = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm²
Area of black tiles = 2 cm * 3 cm = 6 cm²
She used twice as many white tiles as black tiles. Hence:
x = 2y (1)
Also, the finished pattern was 1092 square centimeters in area. Hence:
4x + 6y = 1092 (2)
From both equations:
x = 156, y = 78
Mitra used 156 white tiles of 2x2 cm and 76 black tiles of 2x3 cm to form a pattern with an area of 1092 cm²
