The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Calculate the area of one rhombus tile. The area \( A \) of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 \] where \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) are the lengths of the diagonals. Given: - \( d_1 = 45 \, \text{cm} \) - \( d_2 = 30 \, \text{cm} \) Substituting the values: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 45 \times 30 \] \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 1350 = 675 \, \text{cm}^2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the total area of 3000 tiles. To find the total area of 3000 tiles, we multiply the area of one tile by the number of tiles: \[ \text{Total Area} = 3000 \times 675 \, \text{cm}^2 \] \[ \text{Total Area} = 2025000 \, \text{cm}^2 \] ### Step 3: Convert the total area from cm² to m². To convert from cm² to m², we divide by 10,000 (since \( 1 \, \text{m}^2 = 10,000 \, \text{cm}^2 \)): \[ \text{Total Area in m}^2 = \frac{2025000}{10000} = 202.5 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total cost of polishing the floor. The cost of polishing per m² is Rs. 4. Therefore, the total cost can be calculated as: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Total Area in m}^2 \times \text{Cost per m}^2 \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 202.5 \times 4 = 810 \, \text{Rs.} \] ### Final Answer: The total cost of polishing the floor is **Rs. 810**. ---
