Question

A floor is made up of $50$ parallelogram shaped tiles. If the base and height of each tile are $10$ cm and $15$ cm respectively. Find the total area of the floor.

• A. $7500c{m}^2$
• B. $750c{m}^2$
• C. $6000c{m}^2$
• D. $7600c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $7500c{m}^2$

Given:
Base $=10cm$, Height $=15cm$, Number of tiles $=50$

Area of one tile
$=$ Area of a parallelogram

Area of a parallelogram
$=$ Base $\times$ Height

$=10\times 15=150c{m}^2$

Area of one tile $=150c{m}^2$

Area of $50$ tiles
$=150\times 50$
$=7500c{m}^2$
