248 square feet is equal to how many cubic yards?

Answer 1

I take for granted the you had a typo, since square feet is a 2 dimensional measurement (area=length x width), and cubic yards is 3 dimensional (volume=length x width x depth). Since square yards isn't that common of a measurement in garden and landscaping, I will assume you meant cubic yards, a very common measurement in this field especially when ordering soil or mulch materials.

There are 27 cubic feet (3'x3'x3') in a cubic yard, so assuming that you meant 248 cubic feet, it would be 9.185 cubic yards.

If you meant 248 square feet, there are 9 square feet (3'x3') in a square yard so it would be 27.556 square yards.

Answer 2

Trying to guess what you are trying to accomplish here are some guesses:

Guess 1-
If you have a garden that is measured in square feet and trying to cover it with sod and the sod is sold in pallet as a cube, you may count how many layers of the the cube (pallett) exist then mutliply that by how many yards the total will cover. For example. If a pallet of one 1.5 square yard surface has 20 layers of sod in it, and the pallett is 1 yard in height, It may be sold as a 1.5 cubic yard. The total surface this cubic mass will cover is 20 layers X 1.5 yard or 30 square yards or 270 square feet.
Mathematically, the cube height can be divided by the layer's height to figure how many usable layers there are in the cube then multiple that by your surface.
This is one idea I had as to why you are trying to compare a surface measurement (2 dimensions) to a volume measurement (3 dimensions).
Maybe you are trying to calculate how much dirt sold in cubic yards will cover your garden in square feet. Again same idea, look at the cube figure out how high the layer of dirt you apply is from the cube than figure out how many layers you'll get out of the cube to cover your surface.

Guess 2-
I you meant to ask 248 square feet is equal to how many square yards? then the answer is about 27.5 square yards.

As a mathematical question, this does not have an answer because you are asking to compare a two dimensional value to a three dimensional value. But as a real life practical question the guess above may be able to solve your dilemma.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

These guys are all right about the 80 sq. feet, but we used to guesstimate the slab with 1 cubic yard per 100 sq feet, because no slab is exactly 4 inches deep , they very, and you always add more than you need, so one concrete truck would cover 10 squares, or 1000 sq feet, less if you have a mono slab, but, that was just the guess, the concrete company would always calculate it for us. Give you an Idea of how big some of our slabs were, the footer alone for one house we did was 80 cubic yards!!!

Answer 4

9 Feet =1Yard

248 Sq Feet = 27.555556 Sq Yards
= 27.555556/9 Cubic Yards
= 3.0617284 Cubic Yards.

Answer 5

You can't turn sq. ft. into cubic yards. You need cubic feet.

Let's assume that you are talking concrete. 248 sq. ft. at a thickness of 4 inches would equal 82.66 cubic feet. This would be equal to 3.06 cubic yards.

Answer 6

how tall? square feet is a 2 dimensional amount, cubic feet is 3 dimentional. To get cubic yard:

length x width x height then divide by 27 .

Answer 7

The other guys assumed your trying to find cubic yard, so on my assumption you're looking for square yard instead.

Since you have 27 cu. ft. in a cu. yard, you have 9 sq. ft. in a sq. yard.

So to find for your sq. yard, let's denote as "x".

by ratio and proportion:

248 sq. ft./ "x" = 9 sq. ft./ 1 sq. yard

"x" = 248 sq. ft.(1 sq. yard)/ 9 sq. ft.

"x" = 27.55 sq. yards
