Respuesta :

The number of squares tiles that will be required to floor the rectangular store is approximately 1284 tiles

How to find the number of tiles used for the rectangular floor?

The rectangular store measures 6.5m by 7.9m.

Therefore,

area of a rectangle = lw

where

  • l = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

area of a rectangle = 6.5 × 7.9

area of a rectangle = 51.35 m²

The square tiles used for the floor is 20cm each. Therefore,

20 cm = 0.2m

hence

area of the square tile = 0.2² = 0.04 m²

number of tiles = 51.35 / 0.04 = 1283.5

number of tiles ≈ 1284 tiles
