Question

A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is $24cm$ and the corresponding height is $10cm$. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area $1080m^2$? (If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners)

Answer 1

We know, Area of parellelograms $=$ Base $\times$ Corresponding height

Area of a tile $=\frac{24}{100}\times \frac{10}{100}$

$=\frac{240}{10000}$

$=0.024m^2$

Area of the floor $=1080m^2$

Now,

Number of tiles $=\frac{Totalarea}{Areaofonetile}$

$=\frac{1080}{0.024}$

$=45000tiles$
