A rectangular driveway 12m long and 4.5m wide is to be covered by similar square tiles of 25cm each. Find the number of tiles needed to cover the driveway.
Answers
Answer:
864
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question that you have a rectangular patch/driveway of..
L = 12m
B = 4.5m
There is also a tile given, square in shape with
S = length of side = 25cm = 0.25m.
Question asked is that if you cover the area of the rectangular patch/driveway, how many tiles will be needed.
Think about this, if you don't get it, answer is given below.
The total area of the driveway is L × B
which implies.. 12m × 4.5m
= 54 m² (metre square)
The area of ONE of the 0.25 metre tiles is Length of Side squared.
which implies 0.25m × 0.25m
= 0.0625m²
So 1 tile takes up 0.0625m²
how many tiles will take up 54m²?
This is the question you need to answer.
if you still didn't get it, it is 54m²÷0.0625m²
Answer comes out to be 864 tiles.
And that's your answer! :)
