You want to calculate the volume of a box given that its width is 0.67, its height is 0.67, and its length is 1.3.The volume of a box is found by multiplying the length × the width × the height. The Volume of 1block is 1.3 × 0.67 × 0.67 = 0.58357ft. To know how many you would need you would need to know how many blocks would be needed or the size of the wall.
