Given
Side of Square tiles = 8 inches
Length of bathroom = 13 feet
Breadth of bathroom = 8 feet
Find
a) area of the floor
b) Convert this area to square inches.
c) Number of tiles to cover the floor
Explanation
a) Area of floor is given by
[tex]\begin{gathered} l\times b \\ 13\times8 \\ 104ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]b) as we know ,
1 square foot = 144 square inches .
so , 104 square feet = 144 * 104 = 14976 square inches
c) to find the number of tiles ,
we first find the area of 1 tile
area of tile = side * side = 8 * 8 = 64 square inches
so , number of tiles = area of floor / area of 1 tile.
hence ,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{14976}{64} \\ 234 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer
Hence ,
a) area of the floor is 104 square feet.
b) area of the floor is 14976 square inches.
c) Number of tiles required to cover the floor is 234 tiles
