The correct Answer is:
To find the number of bricks required to construct the wall, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert all measurements to centimeters - The wall dimensions are given in meters and centimeters. We need to convert everything to centimeters for consistency. - Length of the wall: \[ 9 \text{ m} = 9 \times 100 = 900 \text{ cm} \] - Height of the wall: \[ 6 \text{ m} = 6 \times 100 = 600 \text{ cm} \] - Thickness of the wall: \[ 20 \text{ cm} \text{ (already in cm)} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the volume of the wall - The volume of the wall can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: \[ \text{Volume of the wall} = \text{Length} \times \text{Height} \times \text{Thickness} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Volume of the wall} = 900 \text{ cm} \times 600 \text{ cm} \times 20 \text{ cm} \] \[ = 900 \times 600 \times 20 = 10800000 \text{ cm}^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the volume of one brick - The dimensions of one brick are given as: - Length: 30 cm - Width: 15 cm - Height: 10 cm - The volume of one brick is calculated as: \[ \text{Volume of one brick} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Volume of one brick} = 30 \text{ cm} \times 15 \text{ cm} \times 10 \text{ cm} \] \[ = 30 \times 15 \times 10 = 4500 \text{ cm}^3 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the number of bricks required - To find the number of bricks required, divide the volume of the wall by the volume of one brick: \[ \text{Number of bricks} = \frac{\text{Volume of the wall}}{\text{Volume of one brick}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Number of bricks} = \frac{10800000 \text{ cm}^3}{4500 \text{ cm}^3} \] \[ = 2400 \] ### Final Answer The total number of bricks required to construct the wall is **2400 bricks**. ---
