Step 1
A super-tile is a larger tile made up of smaller tiles, and a super-super-tile is a larger tile made up of super-tiles. If you believe there are 4 tiles needed to create a super-tile, that means each super-tile is made up of 4 smaller tiles. Show more…

A puzzle involves placing square tiles together. Each tile in the set has a symbol on each edge and tiles may only be placed if the symbols on touching edges match. There are a total of 6 symbols: *, +, ▀, ●, ◆ and ×. Each symbol appears on 6 different tiles, no symbol appears more than once on a tile and no two tiles have the same four symbols as each other. (a) How many tiles must there be in the full set?

Creating a Mosaic A mosaic is designed in the shape of an equilateral triangle, 20 feet on each side. Each tile in the mosaic is in the shape of an equilateral triangle, 12 inches to a side. The tiles are to alternate in color as shown in the illustration. How many tiles of each color will be required?

A mosaic is designed in the shape of an equilateral triangle, 12 feet on each side. Each tile in the mosaic is in the shape of an equilateral triangle, 12 inches to a side. The tiles are to alternate in color as shown in the illustration. How many tiles of each color will be required? The mosaic requires lighter-colored tiles and darker-colored tiles.
