11 squares, because if it's square then both sides are equal, and 11 x 11 is 121.

The maximum number of tiles that Luke can fit along one side of the patio is 11 tiles.

What is a square?

A square is a closed quadrilateral , two-dimensional shape with 4 equal sides. All four sides of a square are equal and parallel to each other. All the four angles are equal to 90 degrees.

For the given situation,

Total number of square-shaped tiles that will cover the entire patio = 121

From this the area of the patio = 121

The formula of area of square, \(A = side^{2}\)

Thus the maximum number of tiles that Luke can fit along one side of the patio can be found by

⇒ \(121=side^{2}\)

⇒ \(side=\sqrt{121}\)

⇒ \(side=11\)

Hence we can conclude that the maximum number of tiles that Luke can fit along one side of the patio is 11 tiles.
