1 acre = 43,560 square feet 1 cubic yard = (3 x 3 x 3) = 27 cubic feet 1 "acre-foot" is the volume of a slab one foot high that covers one acre of land. The volume is (43,560 x 1) = 43,560 cubic feet = (43,560 / 27) = 1613 and 1/3 cubic yards

To convert acre-feet to cubic yards, you can use the conversion factor that 1 acre-foot is equal to 1613.26 cubic yards. Simply multiply the number of acre-feet by 1613.26 to obtain the equivalent volume in cubic yards.
An acre is an area, a cubic yard is a volume, the question has no meaning
One acre foot is equal to 43,560 cubic feet, so to convert to 100 cubic feet you would divide by 43,560 to get approximately 0.0023 acre feet.
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.
To convert acres to cubic yards, you first need to convert 70 acres to square feet, which equals 3,049,200 sq ft. Then, multiply this by the depth of 10 ft to get a volume of 30,492,000 cubic feet. Finally, divide this by 27 (since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard) to get approximately 1,128,000 cubic yards.
There are 13,500 cubic yards in 10 acres that are 5 feet deep. This calculation is based on the formula for volume: length x width x depth. Since 1 acre is equivalent to 4840 square yards, and the volume of 5 feet of soil per acre is 1800 cubic yards, the total is 13,500 cubic yards for 10 acres.
