An L-shaped tile is made of 3 unit squares. Two of them fit together to make a 2 × 3 rectangle. How many L-tiles are needed to cover the 4 × 3 board shown?

Question

Accepted Answer

4. The board has 4 × 3 = 12 unit squares and each L-tile covers 3, so 12 ÷ 3 = 4 tiles. It works: the board splits into two 2 × 3 rectangles, each made of 2 L-tiles.

An L-shaped tile is made of 3 unit squares. Two of them fit together to make a $2 \times 3$ rectangle. How many L-tiles are needed to cover the $4 \times 3$ board shown?
