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

36 bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

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

both equations and proportions are better.

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .
