AREA OF SQUARE FLOOR IS 8000SQUARE METRE. IT IS PAVED WITH 10 SQUARE TILES OF EQUAL SIZE. WHAT SHOULD POSSIBLY BE THE LENGTH OF SIDE OF TILE THAT CAN BE USED TO COVER THE FLOOR.
well, since the 10 tiles cover the floor, each must have area 8000/10 = 800m^2
so, the tiles must have side length 20√2
unfortunately, you cannot cover a square floor with 10 square tiles, since 10 is not a perfect square.
To determine the length of each side of the square tile, we need to divide the total area of the floor by the number of tiles.
Given that the area of the square floor is 8000 square meters and it is paved with 10 square tiles of equal size, we can use the following formula:
Area of each tile = Total area of the floor / Number of tiles
Area of each tile = 8000 square meters / 10 tiles
Area of each tile = 800 square meters
Since each tile is a square, with all sides equal in length, we can calculate the length of each side by finding the square root of the area of each tile.
Side length of each tile = √(Area of each tile)
Side length of each tile = √(800 square meters)
Using a calculator, we find that the square root of 800 is approximately 28.28.
Therefore, the length of each side of the tile that can be used to cover the floor would be approximately 28.28 meters.
