A square tile is having a side of length 15 cm how many tiles would be required to cover the square floor of bathroom of side 5m
400
To find out how many tiles would be required to cover the square floor of the bathroom, we need to calculate the area of the floor and then divide it by the area of a single tile.
First, we need to convert the side length of the floor from meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
So, the side length of the floor in centimeters is:
5 meters x 100 centimeters/meter = 500 centimeters
Now, we can calculate the area of the floor in square centimeters:
Area of the floor = side length x side length = 500 cm x 500 cm = 250,000 square cm
Next, let's calculate the area of a single tile:
Side length of the tile = 15 cm
Area of a single tile = side length x side length = 15 cm x 15 cm = 225 square cm
Now, we can find the number of tiles required:
Number of tiles = Area of the floor / Area of a single tile
Number of tiles = 250,000 square cm / 225 square cm ≈ 1111.11
Since we cannot have fractional tiles, we round up the number of tiles to the nearest whole number. Therefore, it would require approximately 1112 tiles to cover the square floor of the bathroom.
Area of bathroom floor = 5^2 = 25m^2
Area of bathroom tile = (0.15)^2
25/(0.15)^2 = approx 1111 tiles
