Answer:

21  packages

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the area of the parallelogram. Given that:

  • The base of 17.5 feet
  • The height of 6 feet

=> S = bh = 17.5 x 6 = 105 ft²

Area covered by 1 package of tile = 5 ft²

So the number of packages of tile will be needed to tile the art closet floor:

The area of the parallelogram / Area covered by 1 package of tile

[tex]\frac{105}{5}[/tex] = 21  packages
