(1 cubic yard that's 2 inches high) covers 23,328 square inches = 162 square feet.

∙ 12y agoA yard is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet. So a face of the cube is 9 square feet and you can get 72 (36/.5) slices out of the height of the cube, so 9 X 72 = 648
1 (cubic yard) = 46 656 cubic inchesIf the depth is 2 inches then the area it will cover is 46656/2 square inches = 23,328 square inches. Convert 23,328 square inches to square yards23 328 (square inches) = 18 square yards
5 ft by 9 ft is 45 square feet. This requires 6,480 square inches to cover it.
You have not said what substance you are using a ton of to cover the asphalt.

It depends a little on just how decomposed it is, and whether it's been disturbed or not (native state or excavated and recompacted, or not recompacted), but generally, use of a unit weight of about 135 to 145 pounds per cubic foot or in the range of 3,500 to 4,000 pounds per cubic yard should suffice for estimating purposes.
If those are inches, the area is 143 square inches.
Each tile covers 81 square inches. You have 1,296 square inches to cover. It will take 16 tiles to cover that area.
1.174 square feet.

80 inches squared to just cover it
Three square feet would cover one square yard or 36 square inches.
Assuming that you mean a cubic yard of decomposed granite, I'll try to answer this question.Information needed to answer question:A yard is twelve (12) inches multiplied by three (3), that is to say, three (3) feet, or thirty-six (36) inches.A square yard is one-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296) square inches.There are nine (9) square feet in a square yard.Cube is calculated by multiplying the height by the width, and then multiplying that by the length.Thirty-six (36) multiplied by thirty-six (36) equals (=) one-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296).Twelve (12) multiplied by nine (9) equals one-hundred-eight (108).One-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296) multiplied by thirty-six (36) equals (=) forty-six-thousand-six-hundred-fifty-six (46,656).Fifteen-thousand-five-hundred-fifty-two (15,552) divided by one-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296) equals (=) twelve (12).Forty-six-thousand-six-hundred-fifty-six (46,656) divided by three (3) equals (=)fifteen-thousand-five-hundred-fifty-two (15,552).Taking this information:We need to find out how many cubic inches there are in a cubic yard. So, sincecube is calculated by multiplying the height by the width, and then multiplying that by the length, and a yard is twelve (12) inches multiplied by three (3), that is to say, three (3) feet, or thirty-six (36) inches, then we can calculate that thirty-six (36) multiplied by thirty-six (36) equals (=) one-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296). But that is only the square inches in a square yard. We want the cubic inches in a cubic yard. So, multiply one-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296) by thirty-six (36) and we get forty-six-thousand-six-hundred-fifty-six (46,656). So that is how many cubic inches there are in a cubic yard. Now, since the layer of granite is going to be three (3) inches thick, we need to divide forty-six-thousand-six-hundred-fifty-six (46,656) by three (3). Forty-six-thousand-six-hundred-fifty-six (46,656) divided by three (3) equals (=) fifteen-thousand-five-hundred-fifty-two (15,552). Now we need to divide fifteen-thousand-five-hundred-fifty-two (15,552) by one-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296) to find out how many square yards the three-(3)-inch layer will cover. Fifteen-thousand-five-hundred-fifty-two (15,552) divided by one-thousand-two-hundred-ninety-six (1,296) equals (=) twelve (12). That is how many square yards the granite will cover. We need to find out how many square feet the granite will cover, so, since there are nine (9) square feet in a square yard, we will multiply twelve (12) by nine (9). Twelve (12) multiplied by nine (9) equals one-hundred-eight (108). So there the answer is.One cubic yard of decomposed granite will cover one-hundred-eight (108) square feet in a three-(3)-inch layer.But we need to double-check our work. So taking the number one-hundred-eight (108), we will divide it by four to find out how many cubic feet of granite there are, and we reach the number twenty-seven (27). That is the amount of cubic feet of granite. There are twelve (12) inches in a foot. There are one-hundred-forty-four (144) square inches in a square foot [twelve (12) multiplied by twelve (12)]. One-hundred-forty-four (144) multiplied by twelve (12) equals (=) one-thousand-seven-hundred-twenty-eight (1,728). That means there are one-thousand-seven-hundred-twenty-eight (1,728) cubic inches in a cubic foot. One-thousand-seven-hundred-twenty-eight (1,728) multiplied by twenty-seven (27) equals (=) forty-six-thousand-six-hundred-fifty-six (46,656)! Since the equations work out, this answer is correct!So here's the answer one more time:One cubic yard of decomposed granite will cover one-hundred-eight (108) square feet in a three-(3)-inch layer.
One "yard" of dirt (meaning one cubic yard) contains 46,656 cubic inches. Spread 8 inches thick this will cover 5832 square inches or 40.5 square feet.
Knowing how many square yards in feet will cover when working with depths up to six inches, in important to know, especially in construction. There will be 54 square feet when you have a depth of six inches.
