Question

Q.10 A floor tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 18cm and the corresponding height is 10cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor area 72m²? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Base of the parallelogram - shaped flooring tile =

18cm and its height = 6cm

So,

Area of one tile = Base x height = 18 × 6 = 108cm²

We have the area of floor = 540m²

Hence, number of tiles = Total area / Area of one tile (540 x 100 x 100) [ 1m² = (100 x 100) cm²]

108

= 50000
