Todd uses 21 white tiles & some black tiles to make a mosaic. The mosaic has a total area of 144 square centimeters. Each tile has an area of 3 square centimeters. How many black tiles did Todd use?Explain.

Todd used 27 black tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of black tiles that Todd used.

Todd uses 21 white tiles & some black tiles to make a mosaic. This means that the total number of white and black tiles that Todd used is 21 + x

Each tile has an area of 3 square centimeters. This means that the total area covered by the white tiles is

21 × 3 = 63 square centimeters

Also, the total area covered by the black tiles is

3 × x = 3x square centimeters

The mosaic has a total area of 144 square centimeters. This means that

3x + 63 = 144

3x = 144 - 63

3x = 81

x = 81/3 = 27

50-60=10

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
