How many bricks each of size \(25 \mathrm{~cm} \times 13.5 \mathrm{~cm} \times 6 \mathrm{~cm}\), will be required to build a wall 8 m long, 5.4 m high and 33 cm thick?
Explanation
\(\text { We know that volume of cuboid }=\text { length } \times \text { breadth } \times \text { height }\)
So,
\(\text { Volume of the brick }=25 \times 13.5 \times 6=2025 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
\(\text { Volume of the wall }=800 \times 540 \times 33=14256000 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
\(\text { Therefore, total number of bricks required }=\frac{V \text { olume of the wall }}{V \text { olume of each brick }}\)
\(\begin{aligned} &=1425000 / 2025 \\ &=7040 \text { bricks } \end{aligned}\)
