Guy builds a brick structure that is pictured below.

The structure is 7 bricks high, 7 bricks wide and 6 bricks deep.

The structure is solid brick but has a hole that goes from one side to the other which is 3 bricks high and two bricks wide, as shown in the diagram.

Show Answers Only

`258\ text(bricks)`

Show Worked Solution

`text(Bricks in the stack if no hole)`

`= 7 xx 7 xx 6`

`= 294`

`text(Bricks removed to make hole)`

`= 3 xx 2 xx 6`

`= 36`

`:.\ text(Bricks in stack)` `= 294 – 36`
  `= 258`
