    Assume that the tiles can be cut

    remember that teh formula for a trapezoid is (base1+base2) times (1/2 height)

    height=24

    base1=48

    base2=60

    subsitute

    (48+60) times (1/2 24)

    108 times 12=1296

    now wee find out how many tiles

    16 is 1 tile

    find how many 16's in 1296

    1296/16=81

    ans: 81 tiles
