Math Revisited 2

[Ohio]

Amanda is helping plan her family's new patio. It will be an irregular hexagon. They will use 1-foot-square stone tiles. Here are her notes.

The perimeter of the deck is outlined by ABCDEF.
Line AB is against the house. It is 16 feet long.
AF is perpendicular to AB.
AF and BC are parallel.
BC and AF are each 6 feet long.
Points F and C are connected by FC; FC is parallel to AB.
Points G and H are on FC.
FG and HC are each 4 feet long.
ED is 8 feet long. It is parallel to AB.
DH is perpendicular to HC. It is 4 feet long.
EG is perpendicular to FG. It is 4 feet long.
Angle BCD is 135 degrees.
Angle AFE is 135 degrees.

If they order enough tiles to allow 6 extra tiles for breakage, how many patio tiles should they order?

that will be 144 + 6 ...

if u just draw it out it's easy to follow

nice question

[lightone]

Assuming (which breaks rule #1 of reality) that the layout runs square with ab , 144. but if the layout runs square on fg/hc what would it be ? ;D

Explain a little more lightone.

that's it ... I think lightone has another shape in mind

*edit I keep modifying ... stupid &^*@##*&*# won't display properly

[Cin]

I think everyone should show every bit of working out

No lightone didn't have enough coffee this morning
LOL I recant, 144 + 6 is correct. what I meant to also add was the layout is assumed to be running square off of line ab when if running off of line cd or ef would change the number of tiles needed, ie 45 degree layout.
