Question

A rectangular path 60m and 3m is covered with square tiles of 25 cm. How many tiles wil be used to cover the path ?

Answer 1

2880 tiles

Explanation:

A rectangular path has dimensions 60 m and 3 m.

Area of a rectangular path = length × breadth = 60 × 3 = 180
`m^2`

Use
`1\,m^2=10000\,cm^2`

So,

Area of a rectangular path = 180(10000) = 18,00,000
`cm^2`

Side of a square tile = 25 cm

Area of a square tile = side × side = 25(25) = 625
`cm^2`

Number of square tiles = Area of a rectangular path ÷ Area of a square tile

=
`(1800000)/(625) =2880` tiles
