Solution
Length of first diagonal = 45cm
Length of second diagonal = 30 cm
Then area of one tile = `1/2` × first diagonal × second diagonal = 12 × 45 × 30
= 675cm2
Thus, the area of 3000 tiles = 675 × 3000
= 2025000 cm2
Hence, polishing expense = `2025000/10000`
= 202.50m2
Since 1m2 = 10000 cm2
Given polishing cost of 1m2 = Rs 4
Then the cost of polishing is 202.50 m2
= 4 × 202.50
= Rs 810
