Area Problems
A room 5m 55cm long and 3m 74cm broad is to be paved with square tiles.Find the least number of square tiles required to cover the floor?
Area of the room=(544 * 374) size of largest square tile= H.C.F of 544 & 374 = 34 cm Area of 1 tile = (34 x 34) c m 2 Number of tiles required== [(544 x 374) / (34 x 34)] = 176
Let the width of the room be x membersThen, its area = (4x) m2Area of each new square room = (2x)m2Let the side of each new room = y metersThen, y2 = 2xClearly, 2x is a complete square when x=2? y2 = 4? y = 2 m .
Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate = 3600 / 30 = 120 mArea of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2= 90 m2? Area of the room = 90 m2Breadth of the room = Area /Length = 90 / 15 m = 6m
