Mr. Smith uses 400 square tiles to cover the floor of a bedroom. The bedroom has an

Question

area of 25 square metres. What are the dimensions of a square tile in square metres?

Answer 1

To find the dimensions of a single square tile, we need to divide the total area of the bedroom (25 square metres) by the number of tiles used (400).

25 square metres ÷ 400 = 0.0625 square metres per tile

So, each square tile has an area of 0.0625 square metres. To find the dimensions of the tile, we can take the square root of the area:

√0.0625 square metres = 0.25 metres

Therefore, the dimensions of a single square tile are 0.25 metres by 0.25 metres (or 25 cm by 25 cm).
