Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the entire floor:

Area of a rectangle= length × width

( 4000mm× 3600mm)

14400000mm²

Area of one square tile??= side ×side

12cm×12cm

144cm²

Convert cm to mm

1cm²=100mm²

144cm²=144cm²/1cm²×100mm²

=14,400mm²

Number of tiles required to cover the entire floor= 14400000mm²/14400mm²

=1000
