1 cu. ft. = 28.32 liters
1 ft = 0.3048 m (exactly) → 1 cu ft = 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft = 0.3048 m x 0.3048 m x 0.3048 m ≈ 0.02832 cu m
Assuming by "yard" you mean a "builder's" yard = 1 cubic yard: 1 yd = 3 ft 1 cu yd = 1 yd x 1 yd x 1 yd = 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft = 27 cu ft. 1ft x 200 ft x 200 ft = 40000 cu ft → 40000 cu ft = 40000 ÷ 27 cu yd = 1481 13/27 cu yd ≈ 1481.5 cu yd.
