Step-by-step explanation:
Since, 1 m = 100 cm
Therefore,
36 m = 3600 cm
20.8 m 2080 cm
Area of a hall = area of a rectangle =
3600 x 2080 = 748800 cm²
Prime factorisation of 3600 and 2080. 3600 = 2 x 2 x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5x 5
2080 = 2 x 2 x 2x 2x 2x 5 x 13 HCF(3600, 2080) = 2 × 2 × 2x 2 × 5 = 80
80 cm is the greatest length of the side of square tiles that can be laid on the floor such that no tile has to be cut.
