a flooring tile has a shape of parallelogram whose base is 24cm and the corresponding heights are 10cm. how many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080m²
Answers
Area of parallelogram= base *height
So
Area=24*10
Area of one tile is 240cm^2
Area to be covered is 1080m^2
(1m=100cm, 1m^2 = 10000cm^2)
So 1080m^2=10800000cm^2
10800000/240= 45000
45000 tiles needed
Answer:
Given :-
Dimensions of tiles which is in the shape of parallelogram
Base = 24cm
Height = 10cm
Area of floor = 1080m²
To find :-
We have to find the number of tiles required to cover the floor
Solution :-
Let the number of tiles be n
\sf\ Tiles\ required= \dfrac{Area \ of\ floor}{Area\ of\ tiles } Tiles required=
Area of tiles
Area of floor
Area of tiles = Area of parallelogram
Area of parallelogram= Base× Height
→ Area of a tiles = 24*10
→ Area of a tiles = 240cm²
We have area of floor in m² convert it into cm²
Now 1m²= 10000cm²
→ 1080m² = 10800000cm²
number of tiles = Area of floor / Area of tiles
\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf\ n= \dfrac{\cancel{1080}\times 10000}{\cancel{240}}\\ \\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf\ n= 4.5\times 10000\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf\ n= 45000\end{gathered}
:⟹ n=
240
1080
×10000
:⟹ n=4.5×10000
:⟹ n=45000
\therefore\underline{\sf\ Number \ of\ tiles\ required= 45000}∴
Number of tiles required=45000
