A "yard" is actually a cubic yard and contains 27 cubic feet (3X3X3=27). To find the volume of your area, multiply length times width, times height (or depth). 250X80X8=160,000 cubic feet. Divide that by 27 and you get approximately 5925.9 cubic yards. If you want to know the weight of your fill, you will need to determine the specific composition of your dirt and then calculate the weight of a cubic foot or yard of it.

How many yards of dirt would it take to fill an area of 747 square feet?
You are mixing volume (square yard) and area (length x width). How deep do you want the dirt? One foot deep you need about 80 square yards of dirt.
How much dirt in a square yard?
You can measure the surface of the dirt in square yards. That would be nine square feet.However the volume or amount of dirt cannot be measured in square yards or square feet. The amount of dirt in a volume of one cubic yard would be 27 cubic feet. ( 3x3x3=27 )The amount of dirt in a square yard to a depth of 0.5 feet would be 4.5 cubic feet. (3x3x0.5=4.5)
How many yards of carpet an area 12 feet Wide x 50 yards long?
The width 12 feet is four yards, so the area would be 4 yards * 50 yards = 200 square yards. You would need 200 square yards of carpeting to cover that area.
80 linear feet equals how many square yards?
This would be an unanswerable question as 80 linear feet is a linear unit and square yards is a measure of area. Now if the yard is 80 linear feet by 80 linear feet , that would be an area of 6400 square feet. Since 9 square feet occupy a square yard, that would be an area of 711 1/3 square yards. But, 80 linear feet is only a measure in one dimension and area is a two dimensional measure

How much dirt is 60 yards of dirt?
When a person speaks of a 'yard' of dirt, sand, cement or similar material, they actually mean a 'cubic yard'. A yard is a measurement of length. A cubic yard is a measurement of volume.60 (cubic) yards of dirt is the equivalent of 1,620 cubic feet of dirt.One cubic yard is measured as an amount that is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet high, or 27 cubic feet.60 cubic yards equals 27 cubic feet x 60, which equals 1,620 cubic feet.If you spread 60 cubic yards of dirt one foot thick you'd have an area of 1,620 square feet.If you spread this dirt 6 inches thick you'd have an area of 3,240 square feet.

How many bags of dirt are needed to fill a hole 27 ft long 4 ft wide and 6 inches deep?
This question cannot be answered. An area is "square", a volume is "cubic". The question asks about the volume of an area... and is meaningless. A square yard contains 9 square feet An area 30 feet by 50 feet contains 1,500 square feet or 166.67 square yards

14 cubic feet = 0.518 cubic yards
How many yards of fill dirt in area 25x40x4 inches thick?
You find the square footage of the total area....40 X 60=2400 square feet. Then convert that to cubic yards by dividing by 27....(27 cubic feet per cubic yard) 2400 divided by 27= 85.1 cu. yards To raise the area by one foot, this would be the end of the calculation. If you were to only want to raise an area by 4 inches lets say....then you would multiply 85.1 by .33 or one third of a foot. (for 6 inches you would multiply by .50 or 1/2 foot) NOW, you have to take into account compaction or loss. When figuring concrete, allow up to 10%. When figuring dirt (depending on how sandy etc.) rule of thumb is to allow UP TO 1/3 for compaction. In your question above, allow for 1/3 and you would need another 28 yards (cu. yards). This would figure as 85.1 X.33 and would equal roughly another 28 yards. So, the total needed would be 85 cu. yds (85 rounded) PLUS 28 .....or a total of 113 cu. yards.
