You need three dimensions to find the cubic measurment, Height, Length, and Width.
To find the cubic yards in a pile of mulch with a base measuring 12 feet by 12 feet, you need to calculate the volume by multiplying the base area by the height of the pile. If the height of the pile is 3 feet, then the volume would be 12 feet x 12 feet x 3 feet, which equals 432 cubic feet. To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide by 27 (since 27 cubic feet equals 1 cubic yard). So, in this case, the pile of mulch measures approximately 16 cubic yards.
36 in is 1 yard 66 in is 1.8333 yards 12 in is 0.3333 yards multiply 1*1.833*.333=0.611 cubic yards
Stone can be measured in tons or yards. Actually yards refers to cubic yards. A cubic yard measures one yard by one yard by one yard (in feet, 3 x 3 x 3). When stone is in a pile, try to estimate the volume in cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards.
V = (1/3)*pi*r2*h where h = 2 ft = 2/3 yards and r = 1.5/2 ft = 1/4 yards So V = 1/3*pi*(1/4)2*2/3 cubic yards = 0.0436 cubic yards.
ANSWER:Length times height times width = volume in cubic feet Cubic feet divided by 27 = cubic yardsThus, 25 X 5 X 1 = 125 cu feet divided by 27 =4.629 or 4.63 cubic yards.The calculation above is wrong!Try (3.14x25x5x1)/4 = 98.12 cu feet /27 = 3.63 cubic yards. This is the calculation for the volume of a half cylinder. It's still not perfect, but much closer than the volume of a perfectly shaped box as above. Not much of a difference in such a small pile of dirt, but huge difference when dealing with big piles of dirt.
Volume = 35 ft*105 ft*140 ft = 35/3 yds * 105/3 yds * 140*3 yds = 19055.55... cubic yards.
The cubic yards require that the width of the pile also be given. Assume the width of the pile of dirt, w , is 80 feet. V = ( L ) ( w ) ( h ) V = ( 300 ft ) ( 80 ft ) ( 10 ft ) = 240 x 10^3 cu ft V = ( 240 x 10^3 cu ft ) ( 1 cu yd / 27 cu ft ) V = 8889 cu yd <------------------
Two yards is six feet, three yards is nine feet, one yard is three feet. So your "hole" is 6 by 9 by 3 cubic feet. That is 162 cubic feet of "hole". That is the simple answer. The junior high school answer. But if you are asking this for real then that is a whole different matter. If you actually dug it out in dry dirt, you'd get about three times the effective volume of dirt. Your hole would "contain" 162 cubic feet of air ! But your pile of dirt would need about 500 cubic feet of truck space to carry it away, because it would be bulked up by the act of undigging it ! In the ground it is packed together, once you put a spade to it then it gets loose and the volume increases about 3 times.
The answer depends on the depth of the concrete. With a microscopically thin layer, you could probably get away with 1 [cubic] yard. On the other hand, a concrete pile that is several hundred feet high - will require a few(!) more yards.
Since dirt doesn't usually pile in a perfect rectangle, I am going to assume that the question is saying the pile of dirt is in the form of a three demensional half circle. So, 12/2=6^2=36x3.14=113.04x2800=316512 cubic feet. Since that came out to a whole number usually I would assume that is the right answer, however if it is unrealistically saying that the pile of dirt is a rectangular prism then 12x12=144x2800=403200 cubic feet. In my oppinion the first one is correct.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic Ft. Ten cubic yards equals 270 cubic Ft. This will cover an area of 270 square Ft. one Ft. deep or an area of: * 1 Ft deep by 15 ft. by 18 ft. * 6 In. deep by 30 ft. by 36 ft. * 3 In. deep by 60 ft. by 72 Ft. A dump truck will leave a pile like a pyramid with the top lopped off, roughly three feet high and a footprint of about 11' x 13'.
If the pile is rounded and tapered, then there's no way to tell with only that information.If it's a perfect rectangular pile, with flat sides and top, then its volume is4 x 3 x 3 = 36 cubic feet
