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 original length = x and original breadth = y. Decrease in area = xy - ❨ 80 x x 90 y ❩ 100 100 = ❨ xy - 18 xy ❩ 25 = 7 xy. 25 ∴ Decrease % = ❨ 7 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 28%
Let the side of the square(ABCD) be x metres. Then, AB + BC = 2x metres. AC = √2x = (1.41x) m. Saving on 2x metres = (0.59x) m. Saving % = ❨ 0.59x x 100 ❩% = 30%
