Question

In the given figure, some rectangular bricks are placed with their dimensions written on its sides. What is the total area of all the bricks?


2 units

• A. 24 sq units
• B. 48 sq units
• C. 12 sq units
• D. 2 sq units

Answer 1

The correct option is B 48 sq units

Given,
Length of one rectangular brick = 2 units
Width of one brick = 1 unit


Area of a rectangle = length × width

So, area of one rectangular brick = 1 × 2
= 2 sq. units

To find the area of the wall, count the number of rectangular bricks in the wall.

The total number of rectangular bricks in the wall is 24.

∴ Area of the wall = 24 × Area of each rectangular brick
= 48 sq. units
