a) The area of the floor is calculated by multiplying the length and width: 12 feet * 12 feet = 144 square feet.
b) The area of each tile is calculated by multiplying the length and width: 2 feet * 2 feet = 4 square feet.
c) To calculate the number of tiles needed, divide the area of the floor by the area of each tile: 144 square feet / 4 square feet = 36 tiles.
d) Since tiles are sold in boxes of 10, Tim would need to buy a minimum of 4 boxes of tiles, as 36 tiles ÷ 10 tiles per box = 3.6, rounding up to 4 boxes.
