How many tiles, square in shape of side 16 cm, will be required to pave a rectangle of dimensions 6.4m x 5m?
The Area of the square is defined as the surface enclosed by a square given by the square of it's side and the area of a rectangle is defined as the surface enclosed by a rectangle given by the product of it's length and breadth
Answer: The number of square shaped tiles of side 16 cm required to pave a rectangle of dimensions 6.4m x 5m will be1250
In order to find the number of tiles, we will calculate the area of the floor and area of a square tile
Explanation:
Given: Length of the floor(l) = 6.4m
Breadth of the floor(b) = 5m
Side length of the square tile(s) = 16cm
Area of the rectangular floor = l × b
= 6.4 × 5
= 32m2 = 320000cm2 (since, 1m2 = 10000cm2)
Area of a square tile = s × s
= 16 × 16
= 256cm2
Number of tiles required = Area of the rectangular floor / Area of a square tile
= 320000/256
= 1250
Therefore, the number of square shaped tiles of side 16 cm required to pave a rectangle of dimensions 6.4m x 5m will be1250
