Question

a square slab of side 40 cm are to be paved in the rectangular court yard of a temple 24 m long and 16 m wide. find the number of slabs required.

Answer 1

Hi friend,

Area of the courtyard=L*B
=24*16m
=384m^2
Area of each tile=side^2
=40*40
=1600cm^2
=16m^2

No of slabs that can be paved in the courtyard is-
=384/16
=24 tiles.

So, 24 tiles can be paved in the courtyard.


Hope it helped you..................

Answer 2

Given:

Side of square slab = 40cm

Area of rectangular yard = 24 x 16

To Find:

Number of slabs required

Solution:

Area of the courtyard = Length × Breadth

= 24 × 16  

= 384

Thus, area = 384 m²

Now,

Area of each tile = (Side)²

= ( 40)²

= 40 × 40

= 1600

= 1600 cm²

Converting to m -

= 1600/100

= 16 m²

Slabs that can be paved in the courtyard -

= Area of Courtyard/ Area of Tile

= 384/16

= 24

Answer: The number of slabs required is 24.
