First determine the square footage occupied by the patio ... 15 x 8 = 120 sq. ft.

Next determine the square footage of your bricks. They are 24 inches wide by 24 inches long ....OR 2 feet wide by 2 feet long (pretty BIG bricks !) .... 4 sq. ft. each.

IF you can cut your bricks without shattering them, you would need a minimum of 120 divided by 4 = 30 bricks. If you shatter any, you might need a few extra.

Note that you need to cut the bricks because each is 2 feet wide and one of your dimenstions is an odd number (15). So, you could use 7 whole bricks, and one half brick to cover the 15 feet on that side of the patio. You'd have to cut 2 bricks in half to fill the last foot down the 8 foot side. Hope this helps.

How many 16x16 inch bricks would you need for a 144 foot patio?

Is that 144 square feet, as in 12' x 12'?If that is the case, you would need a minimum of 81 bricks. If the patio is indeed square, or 12' by 12', each side is 144", or 9 16" bricks. 9 x 9 = 81 bricks.If the patio is not square, you may need extra bricks on one or both sides if the width is not evenly divisible by 16 inches.


How many bricks would you need if the area of the patio is 50 square meters and one brick is 10 centimeter by 20 centimeters?

The answer will depend on the shape of the patio. If it curved then some bricks will need trimming and that will result in wastage and so a larger number of bricks will be required. Also, if the patio leaves a small fractional amount after a whole number of bricks, you will need a lot more bricks. As an extreme example, if the patio is 8 cm*625 metres then you will need 3125 bricks. However, if the shape is convenient, you will require 2500 bricks.
