Respuesta :

The equation showing the total area is 9[tex]x^{2}[/tex] and side of square is

3 feet ,length is 6 feet and breadth be 3 feet.

Given that the total area of Tatami mats is 81 [tex]feet^{2}[/tex].

We are required to find the equation showing the total area of Tatami mats.

let the side of square be x feet.

Area of 1 square=side*side

=x*x

=[tex]x^{2}[/tex] [tex]feet^{2}[/tex].

Length of rectangular mats be 2*x=2x

Breadth=x

Area of 4 rectangular mats=length *breadth

=x*2x

=2[tex]x^{2}[/tex] [tex]feet^{2}[/tex]

Total area is given 81 [tex]feet^{2}[/tex].

Total area of the Tatami mats=[tex]x^{2} +4* 2x^{2}[/tex]

=[tex]x^{2} +8x^{2}[/tex]

=9[tex]x^{2}[/tex]

9[tex]x^{2}[/tex]=81

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]=9

x=3 feet

length =2*3

=6 feet

Breadth=3 feet

Hence the equation showing the total area is 9[tex]x^{2}[/tex] and side of square is

3 feet ,length is 6 feet and breadth be 3 feet.
