To find out approximately how many tiles will be needed, we need to calculate the area of the floor and then divide it by the area of each tile.
The area of the floor is given by multiplying the length and width:
Area of the floor = 3.10m * 5.80m = 17.98 square meters
The area of each tile is given by squaring the side length:
Area of each tile = (7.20in)^2 = 51.84 square inches
However, we need to convert the area of the tile to square meters to match the units of the floor. There are 0.0254 meters in an inch, so:
Area of each tile = 51.84 square inches * (0.0254m / 1 inch)^2 ≈ 0.0333 square meters
Now we can find the approximate number of tiles needed by dividing the area of the floor by the area of each tile:
Number of tiles needed ≈ Area of the floor / Area of each tile = 17.98 square meters / 0.0333 square meters ≈ 539.04 tiles
Therefore, approximately 539 tiles will be needed.
