A room has to be done in ceramic tiles.
the room must have no more then 5 colors but more then 3..
The room must have at least 3 different shapes in the floor of which 1 must have more than 4 sides.
And all of this has to add up to the area of the floor. The room is a 25 by 25. How do you solve this question?

These days this is easy and I hope your teacher does not consider this a cop out.
Tile is sold in 1 sq foot units glues on mesh. Does not matter what the shape is.
You need 625 sq feet of tile, pick any color any shapes so long as they are 1 sq foot sections they can be any geo. shape within the square.
Mastic the floor (that is glue) lay down the squares of tiles and press down. After 24 hours tap each piece of tile and if it sounds hollow the mastic did not set and the tile needs to be pulled and reset. When all tiles are set correctly apply grout for sealant.

To answer this you must have a specific question. Are we to calculate the number of tiles, the colours, the shapes or what?
Do the shapes relate to specific colours?

???
What's the question?
And, just as an aside, how big are the tiles?
