a room with a floor covering 6meters sq is covered in 384 tiles. what is the length of each side of the tiles
6 Square meters=60,000 square cm.
60,000/384=156.25 square cm-being the area of each tile. We are assuming that the tiles are perfectly square. If that's the case, then the sides of each tile are:
sqrt(156.25)=12.5 cm. the side of each tile.
+130516 I'm making a slightly different assumption here that the room is 6m on each side
Then 6m = 600 cm and the area is (600cm)^2 = 360,000cm^2
And each tile [assuming that they are uniform] occupies (1/384)th of this area = 937.5cm^2
So the side of each tile = sqrt(937.5cm^2) = about 30.619cm
