Calculate the exterior face area of he wall you want to build and the face area of the side of the cinder block (add about 1/2 inch to length and 12 inch to width for mortar thickness).

Divide the wall area by the block area This is the number of blocks you require.

This is how I figure out how many blocks you will need: First measure the length of walls for the blocks in feet. Second divide that number by 4 then multiply the total by 3. That will give you total blocks needed for one course of blocks.

How many number of concrete blocks are required to build a 50 x 10 wall?

A cinderblock is 8" by 16" if you include the mortar joints.You'll need to figure out how many square inches the cinder block is (8 X 16)and how many square inches the wall is. (1 square foot equals 12" x 12")Divide the size of the blocks into the size of the wall and that's how many blocks you'll need.You'll also need to start doing your own homework.Getting people to do it for you on-line is the same as cheating.

Can patio blocks be used in building a foundation along with concrete blocks?

I'm not 100% certain exactly what you have in mind here, but pavers are not really designed for this purpose, and are a lot more expensive than cinder blocks to boot; I can't think of any reason you'd want to do this. If you just want to hide the ugly cinder blocks, you could probably use pavers as a facade ... in this case they're not actually supporting any weight, they're just hiding the real foundation. I don't think it's a particularly clever idea, though; pavers are far thicker and heavier than you need.
