Answer:

The area of the space that will be covered bricks is 4/15 ft^2

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the area of the space that will be covered by bricks.

This can be obtained directly by finding the area of the rectangular shape;

Mathematically;

area of a rectangle = L * B

Since we have both measurements already;

Then the area of the space will be 3/5 * 4/9 = 12/45 = 4/15 ft^2
