Answer:
The perimeter will be 32 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
- 16 divided by 4 (for each side of square) = 4 inches
- To work out area, we times two sides together 4 * 4
- The area of the smaller tiles is 16 inches squared.
- Times area by 4 for tile that is 4x bigger, 16 * 4 = 64 inches squared. (which you can see is 4 times bigger as 4 * 16 = 64)
- The formula for an area of a square is side * side
- So we need a number that equals 64 when multiplied by itself
- 8 * 8 = 64
- To find perimeter we add up the sides 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32 inches
