• Length of the path = 120 m


• Breadth of the path = 2.4 m


• Size of each brick = 24 cm (length) x 15 cm (width)

To calculate the area of the path, we need to use the formula:

Area = Length x Breadth

Substituting the given values, we get:

Area = 120 m x 2.4 m
Area = 288 square meters


To calculate the area of one brick, we need to convert the dimensions from centimeters to meters, and then use the formula:

Area = Length x Width

Substituting the given values, we get:

Length = 24 cm = 0.24 m
Width = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Area = 0.24 m x 0.15 m
Area = 0.036 square meters


To calculate the number of bricks required, we need to divide the area of the path by the area of one brick. This gives us:

Number of bricks = Area of path / Area of one brick

Substituting the calculated values, we get:

Number of bricks = 288 / 0.036
Number of bricks = 8000

Therefore, 8000 bricks will be required to lay the path.


To lay a path of a given area, we need to calculate the area of the path and the area of one brick. Dividing the area of the path by the area of one brick gives us the number of bricks required to cover the entire area. In this case, we have calculated that 8000 bricks will be required to lay the path.
