  • Question
    How many square feet does one cubic foot equal?
    Community Answer
    They are different things entirely. A square foot is a two-dimensional measurement, whereas a cubic foot is a three-dimensional measurement (e.g. the volume of a room). One is not convertible to the other.

    You would need an additional measurement, such as height or depth. Without that third measurement, square feet are not convertible to cubic feet.
  • Question
    How can I tell how many cubic feet of top soil I need?

    Divide cubic feet by a linear dimension (width, length, or height).
  • Question
    How do I convert cubic feet to square feet?
    Community Answer
    Cubic feet and square feet are not convertible to each other. The first is a measure of volume; the second is a measure of area.
  • Question
    I have 888 sq feet area, how many bags of rock at 4 cf each bag will I need?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    If you're going to deal with the volume (cf) of each bag, you will need to know the volume of the storage area. If you're dealing with the area (sq ft) of the storage area, you will need to know how much area each bag takes up (in sq ft).
  • Question
    Trash will pick up 4 cubic feet max. I have an item 24" x 60" x 20". Will they pick this up?

  • Question
    How many cubic feet of mulch do I need to cover 78 feet at 2-feet deep?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    If you mean 78 square feet to be covered by 2 feet of mulch, the volume is 156 cubic feet.
  • Question
    How many cubic feet of mulch do I need to cover 200 square feet one inch thick?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Multiply 200 square feet by one-twelfth of a foot (one inch) to get the volume. That's the same as dividing 200 by 12: 16 2/3 cubic feet.
  • Question
    How can I convert square meters to square feet?
    Donagan

    Multiply the number of square meters by 10.764.
  • Question
    320 square feet 2" deep = how many cubic feet?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    2 inches is 1/6 of a foot. (320 square feet)(1/6 foot) = 53.33 cubic feet.
  • Question
    How many pounds is equal to 350 cubic feet?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    It depends on the density (weight) of the material involved. For example, if a cubic foot of the material weighs ten pounds, 350 cubic feet of that material would weigh 3,500 pounds.
  • Question
    How can I convert 1100 square feet into decimeters?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    1 foot equals 3.048 decimeters. 1 square foot equals (3.048)² = 9.29 square decimeters. 1,100 square feet equals 10,219 square decimeters.
  • Question
    I have a round container that is 18" deep and 21" across; what is the cubic feet?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Assuming the container is cylindrical (with a radius of 10½ inches), the volume formula is πr²h = (3.14)(10½)²(18) = 6,231.33 cubic inches = 3.6 cubic feet.
  • Question
    With a cylinder 60" circumference and 10" long, how will I convert to cubic feet?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Divide the circumference by pi. That's the diameter. Divide by 2. That's the radius. Square it and multiply by pi. That's the area of the circular base in square inches. Multiply by the length. That's the volume of the cylinder in cubic inches. Divide by 1,728. That's the volume in cubic feet.
  • Question
    How do I convert 6800 square feet to cubic feet?
    Community Answer
    It depends on the shape - follow the instructions for the shape you're working with. If it's a simple rectangular prism, just multiply 6800 by the height or whichever dimension wasn't used for the area.
  • Question
    Can I convert from cubic feet to feet by dividing feet cubed by feet squared?

    Top Answerer
    Yes.
  • Question
    How do I measure for square footage of a cube?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    "Square footage" would refer to the area of one or more surfaces of a cube. To find the square footage of a side of a cube, square the length of one of its edges, measured in feet (that is, multiply an edge length by itself). (If you're actually asking about "cubic footage" of a cube, find that by cubing an edge length, expressed in feet -- that is, multiplying an edge length by itself and then multiplying a second time by that length.)
