Best Answer

There are two ways to answer this question.

First, one of the defining characteristics of a hole is it's conspicuous *lack* of anything filling it. Ergo, there are zero cubic feet of earth in this hole. It's a trick question.

If, however, we are looking to find out how much the hole *could* hold, here is how we do it.

The formula for determining volume of a given space is length (l) x width (w) x height (h). Height and depth can be interchanged to suit the specific application.

Given the dimensions specified in the question, l = 4, w = 3, and h (or d) = 5.

4 x 3 = 12. 12 x 5 = 60. Therefore, the solution is that the hole has 60 cubic feet of volume.

How is a cubic yard measured?

Generally with a ruler or a tape measure. Seriously, any three-dimensional volume which measures 36 inches on all three directions (width, length, height) is a cubic yard. Even if you don't have a perfect cube shape, you can still figure it out. Ex.-- a volume measuring 12 inches (one foot) deep (or high) times 3 feet wide times 9 feet long equals one cubic yard.


21' x 6 deep equals cubic feet?

Question is wrong. You need three (3) measurements, Length, width and height to get cubic feet.
