Question

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 1

Answer:

450 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

given - base of tiles = 24cm

corresponding height of tile = 10

Area of the floor = 1080 m^2 ( 108000 cm^2 )

w.k.t,

area of parallelogram = 1/2 X ( sum of parallel sides ) X height

= 1/2 X (24+24) X 10

= 240 cm^2

therefore,

no of tiles = area of the floor

area of one tile

= 108000

240

= 450 tiles

Answer 2

Answer:

Given,area of floor=1080m²

Here,tile is in the shape of parallelogram and we know that,area of parallelogram=Base×corresponding height

Area of one tile=24cm×10cm

=24/100 m×10/100 m

=24/1000 m²

Now,number of tiles required to cover a floor=1080/24/1000

=1080×1000/24

=45×1000

=45000 tiles
