Triangle Area Coverage: Calculate Tiles Needed for 10m × 8m Pool

To find out how many tiles are needed we will calculate the triangular area and the area of each tile and then divide.

$\frac{\text{A.triángulo}}{A.baldosa}$

The result is equal to the number of tiles needed.

In a triangle its length is equal to its height and its width is equal to the base of the triangle

$\text{A.triangulo=}\frac{10\cdot8}{2}=40$

Given=h=length=$10$ meters

Given=base=width=$8$ meters

Given that the length is $2$ meters

The width: $2$ meters

Tile area $2\cdot2=4$

$\frac{40}{4}=10$
