Does anybody know how to convert 1 square metre into 1 cubic metre?Is there any possibility?

Answer 1

You can't, but then again, you can. Depending.

One of the most common questions I am asked, is how to convert square feet to cubic feet. My answer has always been, "You can't." Since cubic feet has an extra dimension, you could fit an unlimited number of square feet into cubic feet.

But then I started thinking about why someone would want to make such a conversion, and I guess it is possible in the real world, and decided to put the conversion up here. Though scientists might scoff and say that I'm not really converting square feet to cubic feet, I'm just adding the third dimension that is needed for cubic feet.

First off, why would someone need to convert square feet to cubic feet? As an example, lets say you have a 12 square foot garden, and you want to buy topsoil for it. Since topsoil is sold by the cubic foot, how many cubic feet of topsoil do you need for a 12 square foot garden? I will use this for my example.

The formula for Square feet is:
length × width

The formula for Cubic feet is:
length × width × height

Since we know the Square feet of the garden, we now have the conversion to Cubic feet:
(cubic feet) = (square feet) × (height in feet)

So.... If you wanted the topsoil to be 3 inches thick, you would need:
12 × 0.25 = 3
You would need 3 cubic feet of topsoil.

Notice that I convert 3 inches to 0.25 feet before using the formula. All the measurements must be in the same units for it to work. And it will work for anything. Meters, feet, inches, just as long as all are the same.

Once again, here is the formula:
(cubic feet) = (square feet) × (height in feet)

Or for meters:
(cubic meters) = (square meters) × (height in meters)

Answer 2

1 meter * 1 meter = 1 square meter
1 meter * 1 meter * 1 meter = 1 cubic meter

The main thing to recognize here is the difference in dimension between square meters and cubic meters. With an additional dimension, you can multiply the square meter area by the new height or depth to calculate cubic meters, but you can't simply convert square to cubic meters.

Also, remember that while 1 centimeter = 1/100 of a meter, 1 cubic centimeter does not equal 1/100 of a cubic meter. Just remember how all the factoring works when you multiply.

1/100 meter * 1/100 meter * 1/100 meter = 1/1,000,000 cubic meters

Answer 3

There's mostly good advice but also some bad advice here.

It is NOT possible to convert square meters to cubic meters. A square measurement is made on a single plane and therefore has no volume, and a cubic measurement measures the volume of something. It has to do with 2D and 3D. Plain and simple!!!!

They are measuring completely different things. Likewise, it is not possible to convert square inches to cubic inches or square parsecs into cubic parsecs.

You could measure the area of your computer monitor or a soccer field for example in cubic meters (or inches or cm or feet). And you could measure the volume of a beer bottle or a soccer ball or a box in cubic meters (or inches or cm or feet).

The formula for area on a four sided planar surface with square corners (square or rectangle) is LxW.

The formula for volume of a box with six sides and square corners is LxWxH.

Other geometric shapes have their own formulas, but thre is no correlation between square meters and cubic meters.

Answer 4

No, there is no possibility. You can't possibly convert area into volume just like that.

You need another dimension. If you want volume, you inevitably need height.

Volume = Area * Height

1m^3 = 1m^2 * H

now you can calculate H. Canceling out square meters on both sides you get:

H = 1m

So you need exactly a meter in height.

Answer 5

well, yes and no.

If you have a plane (square meter) and you want to see how much space that takes up in a cube (cubic meter), the answer's going to be zero. It takes up no space, mathematically.

how many square meters in a cubic meter? Zero.

However, if you're talking about property, it's measured in square feet, but you actually own that area, plus a few feet above and below.

Answer 6

I may have aged to much to remember, based on the previous answer.
But, my understanding is that:
A Square is a plane/2 dimensional object (width X Length)
A Cube is a solid/3 dimensional object (width X Length X Height).
So if I remember correctly, no.

Answer 7

it is not possible, since square meter is a surface unit, and cubic meter is a volume unit.
Your surface lacks a dimension to be able to be converted.

Answer 8

a square meter is a flat measurement of area
a cubic meter is a 3-d measurement of volume

Answer 9

No way except by multiplying by 1 meter

Answer 10

I cannot believe that the present education standards are this bad. Listen son, their the same units, just multiply by a height of 1m, its that simple.....Wait a minute, they can never be equal quantities, so i'm supposing ur doing a reduction of variables..am i right?
