Solution
Length of the wall = 9 m = 9 x 100 cm = 900 cm
Height of the wall = 6 m = 6 x 100 cm = 600 cm
Breadth of the wall = 20 cm
Volume of the wall = 900 x 600 x 20 cm3 = 10800000 cm3
Volume of one Brick = 30 x 15 x 10 cm3 = 4500 cm3
Number of bricks required to construct the wall = `"Volume of wall"/"Volume of one brick"`
`10800000/4500`
= 2400
