Well and standard concrete block is 12" x 12" x 2" thick so that 1 square foot...You have an area of 16' x 18' equals 288 square feet...... so you will need atleast 288 blocks...get some extra so you can stager the joints......
good luck

If you are using 2'x2' slabs you will need 72. If 12"x12" slabs you will need 72.

Try this , but you need your measurments in Metres
16' (4.88m) X 18' (5.49m)
if your using 12" X 12" slabs you need 298
