Eric created a rectangular patio using one foot square paving stones which are sold in batches by the dozen. the patio measures 7 feet by 8 feet. how many batches of paving stone did eric need?

To figure out the answer, you must first find the area. To do this, multiply the length times the width. In this case, that is 7 feet times 8 feet. That equals 56 feet squared. Because the square paving stones are 1 foot squared, the answer is 56 paving stones in all.

I hope this helped! If you don't mind, please do mark my answer as the Brainliest, as I am trying to get past the Ambitious rank. :)
