Question

a room is 7m 20 cm long and 5m 20cm broad if square tiles have
to be laid in such a way that an exact number of tiles fit in and
no tile has to be cut, what is the greatest length of the side of
sqare tiles

hi,
lets convert all the the units of mesurements into the same
unit
so length of room = 700 cm + 20 cm = 720 cm
breadth of room = 500cm + 20 cm = 520 cm
area of the room will be (720 x 520)cm the room should be a
rectangle
= 374400 cm or 3744 m

a room is 7m 20 cm long and 5m 20cm broad. if square tiles have to be laid in such a way that an exact number of tiles fit in and no tile has to be cut, what is the greatest length of the side of sqare tiles.
