A man wants to cover the floor of his living room with
square tiles. The dimensions of the room are 36 cm in length and 24 cm in breadth. What is the minimum number of square tiles required to completely cover the entire floor area of the living room?Solution
Minimum number of square tiles that man needs to buy = (Length × breadth of room) ÷ (Area of each square tiles) Length of each square tiles = HCF of (36 and 24) = 12 cm So, required number of tiles = (24 × 36) ÷ (12 × 12) = 6
