Solution
Hall length = 12 m = 12 × 100 = 1200 cm
Hall breadth = 6 m = 6 × 100 = 600 cm
∴ Hall area = length × breadth
= 1200 × 600
∴ Hall area = 720000 cm2
Now,
Area of tile (side 30 cm) = (side)2
= (30 cm)2
= 900 cm2
∴ Total no. of tiles required = `"Hall area"/"Area of tile"`
= `720000/900`
= 800 tiles
Now,
If the side of the tile is 15 cm then its area = (15)2
= 225 cm2
∴ Total no. of tiles required = `720000/225`
= 3200 tiles
Hence,
When the side is 30 cm, then tiles = 800 tiles,
and side 15 cm the tiles = 3200 tiles.
