A tile of height 10 cm and base 24 cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 msq?

Question

(If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners).

Answer 1

WHAT IS msq?

Answer 2

10 cm  times  10   equals 100 cm

100 cm times 24 cm  equals  2400 cm sq

100 cm  times 100 cm equals 10,000 cm sq

10,000 cm sq times 24 equals  240000 cm sq

240000 cm sq divided by 10,000 cm sq     equals 24 msq  or 2.4 tiles.

1080 msq divided by 2.4 tiles equals  450 tiles

Answer 3

As per your size the area of each tile is

10x24=240 cm² i.e. 0.024 m², so

1080 m² divided by 0.024 m² = 45000.

Hence you require 45,000 tiles.

Answer 4

With my calculation it will require 72 tiles as it depend on the tiles box, and normally 16 comes with a tile box.

Answer 5

You need to get your terminology correct. There is no such unit as msq.

It could be meters squared or square meters, and these are different.

1080 meters squared is an area 1080 x 1080 meters, or 1166400 m²

I think you mean 1080 square meters or 1080 m²

In that case, the toes are each 10 cm x 24 cm or 240 cm²

convert to m²

240 cm² x 1m²/100²cm² = 0.024 m²

divide the two areas

1080 m² / 0.024 m² = 45000

You may need more because the tiles may not fit in the area without cutting.

"split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners"

Can't do that without knowing the dimensions of the floor.

Answer 6

We know 10 cm = 10/100metre = 0.1 metre and 24cm = 0.24metre

Hence area of the tile = 0.1 * 0.24 =0.024m²

We are required to fill a floor of area 1080m².

Tiles needed = 1080 / .024 = 45,000 Tiles
