Question

2.Does the rectangle of l=24cm, b=12 cm can be filled by square tiles of side 7cm exactly? If not why? Justify your answer?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = area of square

2(24×12) = 4a

576 = a²

a = √ 576

a = 24

no

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = length * breadth

= 24*12 cm^2 = 288 cm^2

area of square = side* side

= 7 cm* 7cm = 49 cm^2

now, no. of tiles needed to fill the rectangle = area of rectangle / area of square

= 288 cm^2/ 49 cm^2

= 5.877...

no, the rectangle cannot be exactly filled because the number of tiles needed to fill is not a whole number
