The area of the concrete block can be found by multiplying its length by its width:
Area = 7 metres x 6 metres = 42 square metres
The cost of the block can be found by multiplying its area by the cost per square metre:
Cost = 42 square metres x £15.80/square metre = £663.60
Therefore, the block cost £663.60.
Area = 7 metres x 6 metres = 42 square metres
The cost of the block can be found by multiplying its area by the cost per square metre:
Cost = 42 square metres x £15.80/square metre = £663.60
Therefore, the block cost £663.60.
