Square slabs of side 40 cm are to paved in a rectangular courtyard of length 24m and breadth 16 m. find the number of slabs required?

24 slabs are required to pave in a rectangular courtyard

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of courtyard (rectangle):

A = lw

A = lb

Where,

l is length

b is breadth

A = 24 × 16

A = 384 m²

Area of each slab (square):

A = s²

A = (40)²

A = 1,600 cm²

A = 16 m²

NOTICE: Make sure to equalize the unit of measurement. 1 m = 100 cm

Now,

384 ÷ 16 = 24 slabs
