Question

A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm. The number such tiles required to cover a floor of area 1080 $m^2$ is

Answer 1

Area of parallelogram = Base $\times$ Height = 24 cm $\times$ 10 cm = 240 sq.cm.
Required number of tiles $=\frac{Areaoffloor}{Areaof1tile}$

$\frac{1080}{240\times {10}^{-4}}$ (converting sq. m to sq. cm)

$\frac{1080\times 100\times 100}{240}=45000tiles$
