A building 200 ft tall is 300 ft by 500 ft in cross section. If all four sides of the building are to be covered with a single layer of bricks, estimate how many would be required (to one significant figure). Assume each brick is 3 in by 6 in by some depth d and ignore windows or other openings. O 5 x 104 bricks O 3 x 106 bricks O 1 x 106 bricks O 4 x 104 bricks O 2 x 106 bricks
