Question 1089183
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The only way to do this that makes any sense is to calculate the area of the space you want to cover and divide by the area of an individual brick.


Each brick area is *[tex \Large 10.5\ \times\ 3.5\ =\ 36.75\ \text{in^2}\ \approx\ 0.255\ \text{ft^2}]


The area of your little patio is *[tex \Large \frac{\pi 36}{4}\ =\ 9\pi\ \approx\ 28.27\ \text{ft^2}]


Then *[tex \Large \frac{28.27}{0.255}\ \approx\ 110.8] rounded up to the next whole brick is 111.


Now if you lay in a radial pattern out from circle center outward, this calculation overstates your needs by a bunch because of the necessary gaps that you will have to leave.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
