How many concrete blocks needed to build wall 226feet by 4feet6?
To determine the number of concrete blocks needed for a wall measuring 226 feet by 4.5 feet, first calculate the wall's area: 226 feet × 4.5 feet = 1,017 square feet. Next, consider the standard size of a concrete block, which is typically 16 inches by 8 inches (1.33 feet by 0.67 feet), giving each block an area of approximately 0.89 square feet. Finally, divide the wall area by the area of one block: 1,017 square feet ÷ 0.89 square feet/block ≈ 1,143 blocks. Therefore, you would need about 1,143 concrete blocks to build the wall.
