Question

The floor of a hall is completely covered by 26 carpets, each measuring 4m by 2.5m. what is the area of the floor of the hall?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of each carpet = 4 m

Breadth of each carpet = 2.5 m

Area of each carpet = 4 × 2.5

= 10 sq m

Area of 26 carpets = 10 × 26

= 260 sq m

Area of floor of the hall = Area of 26 carpets = 260 sq m

So, area of floor of the hall is 260 sq m

Answer 2

Here the measurements of a carpet are given to be 4m by 2.5m

We will first find the area of the carpet

Area of carpet = 4 × 2.5

                        = 10 m²

Now, it is given that 26 such carpets are used to cover a floor

We have to find the area of the floor

So, area of floor = area of 1 carpet × number of carpets

                          = 10 × 26

                         = 260 m²

Hence, the area of the floor will be 260 m²
