    Find area of room

    aera=legnth wtimes width

    in a square, legnth=width

    aera=legnth^2

    legnth=14 feet

    convert o inches

    14*12=168 inches

    area=168^2=28224 square inches

    how many tiles will cover all of floor?

    aka

    how many 192 in^2 is at least 28224 (at least, because we need to cover the whole floor without gaps)

    192x>28224

    divide both sides by 192

    x>147

    147 is the number of tiles we need
