Question

A flooring tile has a shape of parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10cm.How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 msq?( if required you can split the tiles in what ever way you want to fill up the corners)?

Answer 1

Area of a parallelogram= base $\times$ height
= 24 $\times$ 10 = 240 sq. cm
Required number of tiles = $\frac{Areaoffloor}{Areaoftile}$
= $\frac{1080\times 100\times 100}{240}$
= 45000
