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 parallel sides be 3a and 5a.So Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel side x perpendicular distance between them.? 1/2 (3a +5a) x 12 = 384? 8a = 64? a =8? Smaller side = 3x = 3 x 8 = 24 cm.
