It's not a case of the rug being warmer. It's that the tile is very dense, and that conducts away the heat of your feet rapidly - "the floor is cold". The rug traps a lot of air in it's fiber, and the air insulates your foot from the floor.

How many 12x12 tiles needed for a 10 x 10 room?

How many 18x 24 ceiling tiles will you need for a 16' x 12' room?
One 18 ft x 24 ft tile will be more than enough. Since the measurement units used for the tile are not specified, I have assumed that they are the same as the only units that are mentioned in the question.

Ceramic tile what is the best method for squaring a room?
I typically pick the longest wall or the straightest line in the room that has the most exposure and start there with full tiles. Another method would be to find the center point of the room and lay your first tile there. Then when you get to the walls all opposite walls will have the same cut size.
Is tile an insulator?
