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

Given

Base of flooring tile = 24 cm = 0.24 m

Corresponding height of a flooring tile = 10 cm = 0.10 m

Find out

The number of tiles required to cover a floor of area 1080 m²

Solution

Area of flooring tile = Base × Altitude = 0.24 × 0.10 = 0.024

The area of flooring tile is 0.024m²

Number of tiles required to cover the floor = Area of floor/Area of one tile = 1080/0.024 = 45000 tiles

Answer

Hence 45000 tiles are required to cover the floor.
