How many square feet in a cubic foot?

Answer 1

There are an infinite number of square feet in a cubic foot. This is because a square foot

defines a 2D plane, and 2D objects have no depth. They are infinitely thin and therefore

there would be an infinite number of square feet in a cubic foot. Square feet have

dimensions L2 while cubic feet have dimensions L3 so they are not interchangeable.

If volume units could be converted to area units, then you'd be able to figure out

how many acres of gas your car burned last month, and you could go to the store

and buy the equivalent of 2 square feet of milk.

Answer 2

Cubic is 3 dimensional (height, width, depth) whereas square is two dimensional (height, depth).
