The area of the path is can be solved using the equation below: Area path = wide² First, let us convert 3 feet to inches such as shown below: 3 feet * (12 inches / 1 foot) = 36 inches Area of the path = 36² Area of the path = 1296 inches²
Solving for the area of the square bricks Area of the bricks = (3 inches)² Area of the brick = 9 inches²
Solving for the number of bricks, we have it: Total number of bricks = Area of the path/area of the bricks Total number of bricks = 1296 / 9 Total number of bricks = 144 pieces
