The answer varies according to the size of bricks.

The dimensions of brick vary from country to country.

Let us consider the dimensions of each brick as:

length = 22.8 cm, breadth = 10.7 cm, thickness = 6.9 cm

Volume of each brick = 22.8 x 10.7 x 6.9 cm3 = 1683.32 cm3

Since the dimensions of wall are in feet, let's first of all convert feet into cm.

1 foot is equivalent to 30.48 cm.

So, dimensions of wall in cm are as:

length = 12 x 30.48 cm = 365.76 cm

breadth = 8 x 30.48 cm = 243.84 cm

thickness = 5 x 30.48 cm = 152.4 cm

Volume of the wall = 13592086.36 cm3

No. of bricks = Volume of wall/Volume of each brick = 8074.5

So we require 8074 bricks. Since answer is in decimal so we would require some portion of one more brick to completely make the wall.

How many bricks do you need to build a brick wall 30 ft long 2 ft high?

It depends on the size of the bricks and their orientation.


How many 4 inch by 8 inch bricks are needed to build a wall 8 ft by 8 ft?

Area of wall = 8*12*8*12 = 9216 sq inches. Area of each brick = 4*8 = 32 sq inches. Therefore, number of bricks required = 9216/32 = 288. This assumes that the thickness of the wall is 1 brick and that the mortal between bricks occupies no space. For an 8 ft x 8 ft the first is probably not a good idea and the second is totally unlikely.

How many 4 inches by 8 inch bricks are needed to build a wall 6 feet wide and 24 feet long?

As,we know by the relationship of feets and inches :1 ft =12 in.So, 6 ft =12 X6 in .Hence ,no.of bricks =area of walls /area of brickswhich is equal to 6 x12 x24x12 /4X 8 =648 .


How many 8x8 inch bricks fit into 119 sq ft?

8"x8" = 0.444 sq ft thus 267.75 bricks fit into 119 sq ft. This is a purely mathematical calculation, however, if you want a practical answer you need to know the dimensions of the wall rather than just the area, for example it will take more bricks if the wall is 238 feet long and 6 inches high as you'll have a lot of cut bricks
