How many square tiles of side 1 m will be needed to cover the structure shown in the figure? (All the given dimensions are in m).
Answers
Answer:
24 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
first step:area of square=side ×side
there are total 6 squares so 4×6 is 24
Answer:
Number of tiles needed = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
From given figure
dimensions of small squares
side a = 2 m
dimensions of large rectangle
length l = 8 m
breadth b = 4 m [ 4 - small square side (2) = 2 m ]
here we need to find number of square tiles of side 1 m needed to cover the whole structure
For that we need to calculate area of the given structure and area of square tile
area of 2 small squares = 2 (side)² = 2(2²)
= 2(4) = 8 m²
area of large rectangle = length × breadth
= 2 × 8 = 16 m²
total area of the structure = 8 + 16 = 24
area of the square tile = 1 × 1 = 1 m²
number of tile needed = area of the structure ÷ area square tile
= 24 m² / 1 m² = 24 tiles
