A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm.How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 m2 ?
Area of floor =1080 m2
Base of parallelogram shaped tile (b) =24 cm
and corresponding height (h)=10 cm
∴ Area of one tile =b×h=24×10=240 cm2
=24010000=241000m2
∴ Number of tiles required=1080241000
=1080×100024=45000 tiles.
