Answer:

He estimated enough bricks for the patio.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can confirm that Stew ordered enough bricks by taking into account the area of the patio. To deduce the area, we use the formula A=bxh

We know:

b(base) is 12.5 ft

h (height) is 18.3 ft

So, A=12.5ftx18.3 ft

A=228.75 ft²

He ordered enough bricks for the patio. There would be extra bricks since the area is 228.75 ft², and he ordered bricks for 247 ft².
