Yards of dirt are there in an acre of land?

There are 43,560 square feet in an acre of land. To determine the volume of dirt in an acre, you would also need to know the depth of the dirt. If you assume a depth of 1 foot, then there would be 43,560 cubic feet of dirt in an acre.

How many cubic yards of dirt in 1 acre of land?

This is the worth math I've ever seen! 1 acre = 43,560 SF, take the square root of 43,560 to give you the base numbers of the acre = 208.71 feet for both the height and width of an acre to get square feet of an acre. Divide 208.71 / 3 = 69.57 yards for the height and width of the acre. Multiply 69.57 x 69.57 = 4,840 square yards in an acre. A cubic yard is simply 4,840 square yards dug down 3 feet or one yard. So one acre has 4,840 cubic yards of dirt if you only dig down 3 feet. If you dig down 6 feet that doubles and so on. One acre would have 48,400 cubic yards of dirt if you dug down 30 feet or 10 yards. Using a one cubic yard example if you removed one cubic yard of dirt from an acre you would have 4,480 cubic yards of dirt, and one cubic yard of dirt weighs approximately 1.3 tons so once cubic acre weighs 1.3 x 4,840 acres = 6,292 tons.

How much does 1000 cubic yards of fill dirt cover?

There are twenty-seven cubic feet in a cubic yard. So, you'd have 27,000 cubic feet in 1000 cubic yards. Assuming you leave each cubic foot intact and since there are 43,560 square feet in an acre then you'd be able to cover over half an acre. At only 6" deep you'd cover over an acre.

How much dirt is there in a hole three acres square and two hundred feet deep?

There is no dirt in the hole, but if you want to know how much dirt was removed to create the hole, then:3 acres is an amount of area (you don't have 'square acres'). You could express this volume as acre-feet, but this term is usually used when referring to flooding (an acre of land flooded with 1 foot of water, for example). 1 acre = 43560 square feet, so 3 acres = 130680 square feet.(130680 square feet)*(200 feet) = 26136000 cubic feet {26.136 million cubic feet} In the dirt industry, the standard measurement is cubic yards {often referred to as just 'yards' of dirt}. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, so this is equivalent to 968000 cubic yards.
