A flooring tile has a shape of a parallelogram whose base is 18 cm and the corresponding height is 6 cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 540 m2? (If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the comers).
Given,
Base of the parallelogram-shaped flooring tile = 18 cm and its height = 6 cm
So,
Area of one tile = Base × Height
= 18 × 6
= 108 cm2
We have the area of floor = 540 m2
Hence, the number of tiles = Total area/ Area of one tile
= (540 x 100 x 100)/108 [[As, 1 m2 = (100 x 100) cm2]]
= 50000
