Explanation:

Step1: Find small tile side lengths

The big square is 1 unit per side, split into 6 columns and 4 rows. So each side is $\frac{1}{6}$ units and $\frac{1}{4}$ units.

Step2: Calculate small tile area

Area = side1 × side2: $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{24}$ square units.

Step3: Count shaded tiles for total area

Shaded region has 2 rows × 4 tiles = 8 tiles. Area = $8 \times \frac{1}{24} = \frac{8}{24} = \frac{1}{3}$ square units.

Answer:

1. Each small tile has side lengths $\frac{1}{6}$ units and $\frac{1}{4}$ units.
2. The area of each small tile is $\frac{1}{24}$ square units.
3. The area of the shaded rectangle is $\frac{1}{3}$ square units.
