Question

A room is 5.4 m long and 4.2 m wide. It

takes 1575 square tiles to cover the floor.
Calculate the area of each tile and work out
its dimensions.​

Answer 1

Area of the room = 5.4m × 4.2 m

Thus area = 22.6
`{m}^(2)`

Number of square tiles = 1575

Thus The area of each tile:

`= (22.6)/(1575) {m}^(2)`

`\bold{\red{= 0.0144 {m}^(2)}}`

Now the dimensions of square tile will be:

`= √(0.0144) m`

`\bold{\red{= 0.12m}}`
