Question

"Question 4 A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 m2? (If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners).Class 8 Mensuration Page 171" exercise 11.2 4th question

Answer 1

45000 tiles would be required to cover the floor

Answer 2

Total area of room = 1080m²

Base of "one" tile = 24cm

Height of "one" tile = 10cm

Area of "one" tile = Base×height

$\huge\purple{24 \times 10}$

$\huge\purple{240 {cm}^{2} }$

$\huge\purple{0.024 {m}^{2} }$

$\red{no. \: of \: tiles \: = \frac{area \: of \: room}{area \: of \: one \: tile} }$

$\huge\orange{ \frac{1080}{0.024} }$

$\pink{so... \: 45000 \:tiles \: are \: needed }$
