The roof of a house is 25m long and 15m broad. It is to be covered by rectangular tiles of size 25cm ×10cm. How many tiles will be required for the purpose?Also find the cost of tiling at the rate of₹ 6.25 per squ. metre
Answers
Here is your answer.
Area of Roof = 25 × 15
= 375 sq.m
Area of tiles = 0.25 × 0.1
= 0.025 sq.m
Number of tiles =
Now Cost of Tiling is = 6.25 × 375
=Rs 2343.75
Hey Mate,
Given,
The size of the roof of the house = 25 m x 15 m
The size of the tiles = 0.25 m x 0.1 m
First, let us find the area of the roof.
Since, the roof is a rectangle
Area of the roof = Length x Breadth
Area of the roof = 25 m x 15 m
Area of the roof = 375 sq. m
Now, let us find the area of one tile.
Since, the tile is also a rectangle.
Area of the tile = Length x Breadth
Area of the tile = 0.25 m x 0.1 m
Area of the tile = 0.025 sq. m
Now, to find the number of tiles required for covering the entire roof, we will have to divide the area of the roof with the area of 1 tile.
Number of tiles = 375/0.025
Number of tiles = 15000
Now, cost of tiling per square metre = Rs. 6.25
Therefore, cost of tiling the whole roof = 6.25 x 375
Cost of tiling the whole roof = Rs. 2343.75
Therefore, 15000 tiles will be required for covering the entire roof and the cost of tiling will be Rs. 2343.75.
Hope it Helps!
