How many cubic yards of dirt would it take to fill an area 30 feet wide by 30 feet long by 4 inches deep?

Answer 1

A cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet.

The area you are dealing with is 30 x 1 x 1 = 30 cubic feet

So you will need 30/27 cubic yards, which equals 11/9 cubic yards or 1.11 cubic yards.

Answer 2

It would take 3.7 cubic yards of dirt to fill an area that is 30 feet wide, 30 feet long, and 4 inches deep. This can be calculated by converting the dimensions to yards (10 yards x 10 yards x 0.33 yards) and then multiplying them together.

Answer 3

4 inches = 1/3 foot

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

Volume to fill = (30 x 30 x 1/3) = 300 cubic feet = (300 / 27) = 11 and 1/9th cubic yards

Answer 4

You must mean square yards, which is area. Cubic yards are volume.

You have a 10x30feet area, and 10x30=300 so you have 300 square feet.

There are 3 feet in a yard, so there are 3x3feet in a square yard, so 9 square feet in a square yard.

300 square feet * (1 yard / 9 square feet) = 33 1/3 square yards.

Now if you really wanted cubic yards, you might measure the depth of water when your lawn floods, convert it to yards, then multiply by 33 1/3 and that's how much water you've got, expressed in cubic yards.

Answer 6

1 yard = 3 feet 1 cubic yard = (3 x 3 x 3) = 27 cubic feet 25 ft x 5 ft x 3 inches = (25 x 5 x 1/4) = 31.25 cubic feet = (31.25 / 27) = 1.157 cubic yard (rounded)

Answer 7

270. There are 3 feet in a yard, and when you square both, the conversion factor is also squared.

Answer 8

27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard

3 inches = 1/4 foot

Volume = (200 x 18 x 1/4) = 900 cubic feet = 331/3cubic yards

Answer 9

A foot is a unit of distance. A cubic yard is a unit of volume. The two units are therefore incompatible.
