if you have a room that is 4m x 5m and you need to replace the ceiling tiles, assuming that it is a perfect fit, and the tiles are 50cm x 50cm how many tiles do you need?
------
4m = 400 cm
5m = 500 cm
----
Area of ceiling 400*500 = 200000 cm^2
-------------
Area of a tile = 50^2 = 2500 cm^2
----
# of tile needed = 200000/2500 = 80
