Mensuration:


Mensuration is the branch of mathematics
which concerns itself with the measurement of Lengths, areas & volume of
different geometrical shapes or figures.



Plane Figure: A figure which lies in a
plane is called a plane figure.


For e.g: 
a rectangle, square, a rhombus, a parallelogram, a trapezium.


 


Perimeter:


The perimeter of a closed plane curve is
the total length of the curve.


Unit of perimeter is a unit of length.



Area: the area of the plane figure is the
surface enclose by its boundary.


A square centimetre (cm²) is generally
taken at the standard unit of an area. We use square metre (m²) also for the
units of area.

==========================================================

Solution:

Given : base= 24 cm

Height= 20 cm

Area of floor= 1080 m²= 1080×100×100cm²

[1m²= 10000cm²]

 Area of the Parallelogram = base x
height



= 24 x 10 = 240 cm²

Area of 
1 tile = 240 cm²

[Tiles are in the shape of a parallelogram]



  Number of tiles required= Area of the
Floor/Area of the Tiles



= 1080 X100 X100/240  =45000


Number of tiles required to cover a Floor=
45000

==========================================================

Hope this will help you...
