Question

Find the number of bricks to be laid in a square path of side 18cm if the side of each square bricks is 3cm

Answer 1

Answer:

36 bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

• Length of the square path as 18 cm
• Length of the square brick as 3 cm

We are required to determine the number of bricks that would be laid on the square path.

Number of bricks = Area of the path ÷ area of one brick

Area of a square = l²

Therefore;

Area of the square path = (18 cm)²

                                        = 324 cm²

Area of square brick = (3 cm)²

                                   = 9 cm²

Therefore;

Number of bricks = 324 cm² ÷ 9 cm²

                             = 36 bricks
