16 in.
the area of the carpet tile is \square square inches.
the area covered by 120 carpet tiles is \square square inches.

Explanation:

Step1: Find area of one tile

The carpet tile is a square with side length \( 16 \) in. The area of a square is \( \text{side}^2 \), so \( 16 \times 16 = 256 \) square inches.

Step2: Find area of 120 tiles

Multiply the area of one tile by \( 120 \): \( 256 \times 120 = 30720 \) square inches.

Answer:

The area of the carpet tile is \( \boldsymbol{256} \) square inches.
The area covered by 120 carpet tiles is \( \boldsymbol{30720} \) square inches.
