the floor of a building consists to sauce 3000 tiles which are Rhombus shape and each of its diagonals of 45 cm and 30 cm in length find the total cost of pollution the floor if the cost per metre is rupees 4

Answer: ₹ 810

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Find the area of one rhombus-shaped tile

The area of a rhombus is given by half the product of the lengths of its diagonals, 12×d1×d2\frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2. Substituting d1=45 cmd_1 = 45\text{ cm} and d2=30 cmd_2 = 30\text{ cm}, we find the area of 1 tile to be 675 cm2675\text{ cm}^2.

Step 2: Calculate the total area of the floor in square centimetres

The floor is made up of 30003000 identical tiles. Multiplying the area of 1 tile by 30003000 gives a total floor area of 2025000 cm22025000\text{ cm}^2.

Step 3: Convert the total floor area into square metres

Since 1 m=100 cm1\text{ m} = 100\text{ cm}, we have 1 m2=10000 cm21\text{ m}^2 = 10000\text{ cm}^2. Dividing 20250002025000 by 1000010000 gives an area of 202.5 m2202.5\text{ m}^2.

Step 4: Calculate the total cost of polishing the floor

The rate of polishing the floor is ₹ 44 per m2\text{m}^2. Multiplying the total area of 202.5 m2202.5\text{ m}^2 by ₹ 44 gives the total cost of ₹ 810810.
