Suppose you want to beautify your house and you need tiles to make
your floor look elegant, how are you going to estimate the number of tiles to
be used?

So, the first thing you do is apply your knowledge in solving for the floor
area of the house to determine the total number of tiles needed to cover
your floor.

Now, you know that in everyday life, mathematical skills especially

problem solving skills is very essential. Without it, the world around will be an
ugly place to look at.

is It

Take a look at these problems!

Problem # 1
The floor area of your house measures 8 meters by 10 meters.
If your mother decides to buy a floor mat how many meters will she
buy to cover your floor?

Use the steps below

Understand:
What is asked? The floor area of the house
What are given? 8 meters and 10 meters

Plan:
What is the formula? l×w
What is the number sentence? 8 m × 10 m = N

Check and look back:

What is the answer to the problem? The total floor area is 80 m².

 Problem #2
A triangular landscape has a base of 24 meters and height
of 12 meters. Find its area.

Understand:
What is asked? The area of the triangular landscape
What are the given facts? 24 meters, 12 meters

Plan:
What is the formula? b×h
2
What is the number sentence? (24 m ×12 m) = N
2
Check and look back:
What is the answer? The area of the triangular landscape is
288 m².
