Question

Find the area of a tile which used to cover a rectangular piece of land about 600cm length and 500cm breadth. Number of tiles used to cover the land is 3000.​

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangular piece of land about 600cm in length and 500cm in breadth has a total of 3000 tiles.

To Find:

The area of the tile.

Solution:

It is given that the dimensions of the rectangular land are 600cm*500cm and a total of 3000 tiles is used so to find the area of the tile first we need to find the area of the rectangular field i.e

$Area of field= length*breadth\\=600cm*500cm\\=300000cm^{2}$

Now the area of the tile will be

$Area of tile=\frac{Total area}{Number of tiles}\\=\frac{300000cm^{2} }{3000}\\=300cm^{2}$

Hence, the area of the tile will be 300sq.cm

Answer 2

Given: Length of the rectangular piece =600cm

            Breadth of the rectangular piece = 500cm

           Number of tiles used to cover the land=3000

To Find: The area of the tile

Solution: Total area of the surface to be covered=L*B (L denotes length.

                                                                                          B denotes breadth)

                 We know, Area(A)=L*B

                 A=(600*500) sq cm

                  A=30,0000 sq cm

              Number of tiles given = 3000

              Therefore, Area of 1 tile= area of the surface to be covered/number                    of the tile

                  Area of 1 tile = 30,0000/3000 sq cm

                                        =100 sq cm

Hence , area of 1 tile is 100 sq cm .
