L[tex][/tex]ength of the room = 5.2 meters
width of the room = 2.0 meters
Area of the room = length * width
= 5.2 × 2.0
= 10.4 m^2
Now,
Length of square tile = H.C.F of 5.2 and 2.0 = 2 meters
∴ width of square tile = 2 meters
∴ Area of each tile = 2 × 2 = 4 m^2
∴ Required number of tiles to cover the area of room = (Area of Room÷ Area of tiles)
= (10.4 ÷ 4)
= 2.6
