Question

A floor tile is in a shape of parallelogram with the base of 24cm and height of 10cm. How many such tiles are needed to a floor of 1080 m sq area

Answer 1

★ Given :-

• Base of parallelogram = 24 cm
• Height of parallelogram = 10 cm

★ To find :-

♦ Number of tiles that can be fitted to a floor of 1080 m²

★ Method :-

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

➥ Area of parallelogram = 24 cm × 10 cm

➟ Area of parallelogram = 240 cm²

Now, let's convert 1080 m² to cm²

➳ 1080 m²

➝ 1080 m × m

➞ 1080 × 100 cm × 100 cm [Since 1 m = 100 cm]

➝ 10800000 cm²

Number of tiles = (Area of floor) ÷ (Area of 1 tile)

⇒ Number of tiles = 10800000 ÷ 240

∴ Number of tiles = 45000

So, 45000 tiles are needed to a floor of 1080 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

no of tile = area of floor / area of tile

= 108000 cm / 24 × 10 cm

=450 tiles
