To solve this question, let's break it down step by step:
Area of one tile: Each tile is rhombus-shaped, and the area of a rhombus is given by the formula:
Area = (1/2) × diagonal1 × diagonal2
Here, the diagonals are given as:
Diagonal 1 = 45 cm
Diagonal 2 = 30 cm
Substituting these values into the formula:
Area of one tile = (1/2) × 45 cm × 30 cm = (1/2) × 1350 cm² = 675 cm²
Total area of 3000 tiles: Since there are 3000 tiles, the total area of the floor is:
Total area = 3000 × 675 cm² = 2,025,000 cm²
Convert the area from cm² to m²: 1 m² = 100 cm × 100 cm = 10,000 cm²
So, the total area in m² is:
Total area in m² = 2,025,000 cm² ÷ 10,000 cm²/m² = 202.5 m²
Cost of polishing: The cost of polishing the floor is Rs. 250 per square meter. So, the total cost for polishing the entire floor is:
Total cost = 202.5 m² × Rs. 250/m² = Rs. 50,625
Thus, the cost of polishing the floor is Rs. 50,625.
