Yes, when you lay it on a diagonal, there is more waste. Generally, with a straight lay, you need 6-10% waste. With diagonal, it's best to have at least 15% extra.

How do you calculate number of tiles required in an area of 100 sq feet?
You find the area of each tile and then divide 100 sq feet (= 14400 sq inches) by the area of each tile. In real life, you need to allow for gaps between tiles. Also, depending on the shape of the area to be covered, some of the tiles may need cutting. The number of tiles will therefore depend on how skillful you are at cutting tiles, what proportion of offcuts can be used. Normally you should count on least 5% extra, more if you are less skilled. Finally, if the tiles are patterned, you will require a lot more of them to line up the images.

If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis and the speed is steadily increasing Will it be a straight diagonal line?
Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.
