We have to assume that the hole is shaped like a cylinder, with a flat bottom.

Volume of a cylinder = (pi) R2 L = (area of the flat end) x (length).

Area of the circular flat end of the hole = (circumference)2/(4 pi)

(You don't see this formula too often. I worked it out in the process of doing

a lot of WikiAnswering, and it's a very convenient tool to have available.)

Volume of the cylindrical hole = (area of the end) x (length)

= (circumference)2 x (length)/(4 pi) = (182 x 1)/(4 pi) = 25.783 cubic feet = 0.955 cubic yard (rounded)
