A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm.
A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 m2? [If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners]

Solution:
Given : base= 24 cm
Height= 20 cm
Area of floor= 1080 m²= 1080×100×100cm²
[1m²= 10000cm²]
Area of the Parallelogram = base x height
= 24 x 10 = 240 cm²
Area of 1 tile = 240 cm²
[Tiles are in the shape of a parallelogram]
Number of tiles required= Area of the Floor/Area of the Tiles
= 1080 X100 X100/240 =45000
Number of tiles required to cover a Floor= 45000

Given that,
Base of parallelogram = 24cm
Height of parallelogram = 10cm
Area of floor = 1080m2
We know that,
Area of parallelogram = Base × Height
Area of 1 tile = 24 × 10 = 240cm2
We know that, 1m = 100cm
So for 1080m2 = 1080 × 100 × 100 cm2
To calculate the Number of tiles required = Area of floor/Area of 1 tile
i.e., Number of tiles required = (1080 × 100 × 100) / (24 × 10) = 45000
∴ Number of tiles required = 45000
