Question

Find the area covered if 8 square mats of side $\frac{5}{2}m$ are spread over the ground.

• A. $25sq.m$
• B. $50sq.m$
• C. $\frac{25}{2}sq.m$
• D. $\frac{50}{4}sq.m$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$50sq.m$

Number of mats spread = 8,

Side of a Mat = $\frac{5}{2}m$

Area of one square mat = side x side = $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{5}{2}$ = $\frac{25}{4}{m}^2$

Therefore, Area of 8 mats = $8\times \frac{25}{4}$ = $2\times 25$ = $50m^2$
