Question

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? (If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners).

Answer 1

Area of parallelogram =Base × Height

Hence, area of one tile= 24 cm × 10 cm = 240 cm²

Required number oftiles =$\frac{Areaofthefloor}{Areaofeachtile}$
$=\frac{1080\times 10000}{240}$

$=45000$ tiles

Thus, 45000 tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 m².
