Watch out for the 2nd method approach

abouzaid:
Thanks for the great job you're doing here.

EngrOYemi:
Example 2.
A rectangular piece of land with length 30meters and breath 16meters is to be fenced. Calculate the numbers of blocks needed if the proposed height of the fence is 2.5meters.
Solution:
Note that a rectangle has 4 sides.
Remember the two opposite sides are equal.
Total Length = 2L + 2B = 2X 30m + 2 X 16m
= 60m + 32m = 92m
Height of the fence = 2.5m (from the question).
: Area = 92m X 2.5m = 230Sqm (recall area of a wall = L X H)
Nos of blocks = 230/0.12(recall the area of a block = 0.12sqm) = 1,917 blocks.
Considering 10% for cuttings and breakages:
10% of 1,917blocks = 192blocks.
Total Blocks needed for the fencing = 1917 + 192 = 2,109bl0cks.
Answer = 2,109Blocks.

If students are been taught like this in our various higher institutions, only few, very few would fail exams. Nigeria would even be better. This is awesome. I wish I can get it as soft copy but if not, I will screen shot and give it out to people who might be needing it.
Thank you for the teaching and exposure. This site is wonderful.

Thank you so much for this. We hope it gets to many people who might really be needing it for one reason or the other.

Very Tight Schedule. We are trying to deliver so many substructure before the heavy downpour starts.
It's raining season already but by God's grace, justice would be done before the end of the month.
Thanks for the understanding.
Kindly study, review and understand well the first method as you keep abreast of the 2nd one.

Yembol:
It is almost end of the month. Please we are expectant.

EngrOYemi:
Here Comes The Almighty Cheat.
For any block related project, to get the total numbers of blocks needed, just follow this:
* measure and get the total distance in meters
** Divide it by 0.475
*** Multiply by the number of course(layers of blocks).
**** Then you have your answer.

Yembol:
These is really wonderful.
Only God can pay you for all these.
This will bring relief to many people and also reduce anxiety.
Thanks.
