If I have 25 bricks that measure 7.75" x 2.25" each, how many square feet of brick do I have?

Please.

They're "thin brick." .5" deep. Didn't think that mattered in calculating the area they cover.

so which one is it:

- you don't know how to find the area of a rectangle

- you don't know how to find the area of x rectangles given the area one rectangle

- you don't know how to convert from inches to feet (if converting at beginning)

- you don't know how to convert from sq inches to sq feet (if converting at end)

?

I dunno, but the volume of your collection of bricks is precisely 0.

oh wait, you gave the thickness latter ITT. please excuse my stupid unfunny pedantic answer.

You have exactly 435.9375 square feet of brick.

Sorry guise. I've never been good at math.

I won't have any problem counting that $$$ when I sell these bricks though.

you guys getting 435 aren't converting inches to feet

if you want to make this a PE Exam question ask how many bricks it takes to make a room with four 8' tall, 8' wide walls, with two 3'x3' windows. And dont forget to factor in mortar!

Wow, surprised you can do that math. Have fun counting your five ten dollar bills.

Certainly worthy of multiple $$$$ signs.

^2. So according to your calculations 1 box is worth 5 dollars, and 87 boxes is worth 50 dollars.

Seems legit.

FYI, thin brick is more expensive than standard size and retails for 7-8 dollars per square foot.

Oh we back!

... to get flamed/the answers I need.

I have two boxes. One is 13” x 13” x 11”. The other is 22” x 12” x 7.5”. How many cubic feet of space do they take up respectively?

Please.

There is NO WAY a grown-ass man who went to college does not know how to find the volume of a rectangular box

TROLL.
