a) 21,60 $m^2$
b) 25,52 $m^2$
c) 28,07 $m^2$
d) 31,20 $m^2$

Explanation:

Question 38

Discussions leading to agreements between estimators and suppliers focus on contractual, cost, and material-related terms. Payment terms, delivery costs, and material quantity/quality are core negotiable items, while site scale and building type do not directly drive supplier-estimator agreements.

Step1: Calculate floor area

$45 \text{ ft} \times 124 \text{ ft} = 5580 \text{ ft}^2$

Step2: Convert tile size to square feet

First, convert inches to feet: $12 \text{ in} = 1 \text{ ft}$, $18 \text{ in} = 1.5 \text{ ft}$
Tile area: $1 \text{ ft} \times 1.5 \text{ ft} = 1.5 \text{ ft}^2$

Step3: Find total number of tiles

$\frac{5580 \text{ ft}^2}{1.5 \text{ ft}^2/\text{tile}} = 3720 \text{ tiles}$

Step4: Calculate number of boxes

$\frac{3720 \text{ tiles}}{12 \text{ tiles/box}} = 310 \text{ boxes}$

Step1: Convert dimensions to feet

Width: $13 \text{ ft } 5 \text{ in} = 13 + \frac{5}{12} \approx 13.4167 \text{ ft}$
Length: $17 \text{ ft } 4 \text{ in} = 17 + \frac{4}{12} \approx 17.3333 \text{ ft}$

Step2: Calculate area in square feet

$13.4167 \text{ ft} \times 17.3333 \text{ ft} \approx 232.5556 \text{ ft}^2$

Step3: Convert to square meters

Since $1 \text{ ft}^2 \approx 0.092903 \text{ m}^2$:
$232.5556 \times 0.092903 \approx 21.60 \text{ m}^2$

Answer:

D) 2, 4 et 5 seulement (2, 4 and 5 only)
