Question

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]

Answer 1

Given: Base of flooring tile = 24 cm = 0.24 m 

Corresponding height of a flooring tile = 10 cm = 0.10 m 

Now Area of flooring tile = Base x Altitude = 0.24 x 0.10 = 0.024 m²

Hence 45000 tiles are required to cover the floor
