The easiest way to find the artboard size and to then be able to change it is to double-click on the artboard tool. When you do that the Artboard Options dialog will appear and you can make changes to the active artboard in the area highlighted in red in the screenshot below. When you're done simply click on any other tool to get back to the regular Preview or Outline mode.

Hmm!

I know this is not the answer you're looking for but...

Sounds like you're designing layouts. You're in the wrong application.

If you even think of calling it a layout, use InDesign. Brochures should not be designed in Illustrator. It's like hammering a nail with a screw driver.

That is bad advice.

I'd like to see you design a brochure in Illustrator, just to see how long it takes.

Illustrator is NOT a layout application.

Rahat,

As I (mis)understand it, Window>Transform panel with the artwork selected, or File>Document Setup>Artboard.
