Question

A man decides to pave with square tiles which is 4.8 metres long and 5.38 metre wide find the largest size of the tile that he could use

Answer 1

Hey there !!

The length of area to be paved = 4.8m

The breadth of area to be paved = 5.38

now ,

area of the space that can be paved = Length × breadth .

area = 4.8 × 5.38 = 25.84m²

now ,

let us suppose that 25.84m² is the area of the square

side of of square tile = √25.84 = 5.08.. m

hence the side of the tile will be 5.08m and the area of the largest square tile that he can use for paving is 25.84m².

Answer 2

Answer:

5.08 m

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangular area to be covered= 4.8*5.38 = 25.824

as the tiles are square

length of each tiles = √25.824 = 5.08
