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
