Question

A square room of side 8 m is to be covered with square tiles each of side 2 m. Find the number of tiles required.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of square tiles required be x

so,

Area of room = Area of 'x' tiles

Area of room=side×side=12×12=144m

2

=1440000cm

2

Area of 1 tile=50×50=2500cm

2

Area of 'x' tile=2500xcm

2

Number of tiles required=

2500

1440000

=576

So, 576 tiles are required

Answer 2

Answer:

16 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of square room is 8m.

It's area= side x side

8x8

=64m^2

Side of square tile is 2m

It's area = side x side

2x2

=4m^2

Number of tiles required to cover the room=

$\frac{area \: of \: room}{area \: of \: tile}$

$\frac{64}{4}$

=16 tiles
