Dimensions of a brick wall is given by
Length = 14.5 feet (174 inch)
Width = 0.5 feet (6 inch)
Height = 5.5 feet (66 inch)
volume of wall(cuboid)= length*weidth*height
=174*6*66
Dimensions of a brick is given by
Length = 6 inch
Width = 4 inch
Height = 2 inch
volume of one brick (cuboid)= length*weidth*height
=6*4*2
number of bricks = (174*6*66)/(6*4*2)
there are 1436 bricks that he will need to make a brick wall.
