WILL MEDAL AND FAN :DDDD

Answer 1

A box contains a collection of triangular and square tiles. There are 2525 tiles in the box, containing 8484 edges total. How many square tiles are there in the box?

A.3

B.5

C.7

D.9

E.11

Answer 2

i think it is D

Answer 3

Each square tile has four edges, and each triangular tile has three.
would it help to set up linear algebraic equations based upon t=# of triangular tiles and s=# of square tiles?

Answer 4

O_O i don't understand

Answer 5

Set up a "# of edges" equation, with 8484 on the right side.
Set up a "total number of tiles: equation with 2525 on the right side.

I'm sure you've solved systems of linear equations before. Any chance you could review that topic?

Answer 6

um... ill just do this myself and no this is all new stuff for me i just moved from regular school to online school...

Answer 7

its 9

Answer 8

Of course you could do that, if you like, but my recommendation would be that you stay on OpenStudy.

Answer 9

If you had n square tiles, the total number of tile edges s would be ... what?

I made a mistake earlier and am deleting that particular post of mine.

Answer 10

How many sides does a square tile have?

If s represents the number of square tiles,

How many sides, total, are accounted for by the square tiles?

Ask yourself the same questions in rgard to the triangular tiles.
