Question

A comfort room which is 2m by 2m has to be tiled with 30 cm by 30 cm tiles. Is 50 pieces tiles enough to cover the comfort room. Illustrate your answer

Answer 1

yes

number of tiles needed = (200 x 200) / (30 x 30) = 44.4

Explanation:

number of tiles needed = Area of comfort room / area of tiles

Area of a square = length²

convert area of comfort room to cm

100 cm = 1 meter

2 x 100 = 200

number of tiles needed = (200 x 200) / (30 x 30) = 44.4

50 tiles are more than enough to tile the room
