I was wondering if someone could tell me what metres cube to metres squared would work out to be?

Question

The reason I ask is that I need to get soil for my back yard and it comes as m3 and I am trying to workout what kind of area I can cover per m3.

Answer 1

Cubic meters are a measure of volume, whereas square meters measure area. One is three dimensional, the other two dimensional. You can't convert between them, as though they were both units of volume, like gallons and pints.

You can find the surface area, however. For a solid whose sides are measurable, simply find the areas of all the sides and then add them all up. Sometimes you can use a surface area or volume in an algebraic equation to obtain other features. For example, if you know the volume of a cube is 8 cubic meters, each side must be 2 meters long, and its surface area would be 24 square meters.

Answer 2

It is like filling a tank of "1 m^2 bottom area" with buckets of water! Each bucket of water fill the tank by a small height.

Similarly if you are filling an area with soil what lthickness of soil is filled there matters most!

Choose a '10 centimeter thickness' means a cubic meter soil can be filled on 100 cm/10 cm = a 10 squaremeter area!

So always decide layer-thickness first and calculate how many square meter area will be covered by a cubic meter.

Then divide toal area by said answer to get a final answer!

Answer 3

Depends upon how thick would be the layer you want to cover an area. You gave m3. It means the height or thickness of your volume is 1 meter. If you intend to put 1/4 meter thick of soil upon a surface then m3 could cover 4 meter-area (1 divided by 1/4).

Answer 4

There is no calculation you can make until you decide how thick (probably in centimeters) the added soil layer will need to be. For example, a 5 centimeter layer means that for every cubic meter, you could cover 20 square meters of your yard.

(100 centimeters in a meter high, divided by 5)

Answer 5

There are three dimensions in a metered cube, (h x d x w) and only two dimensions in the squared foot (h x w). So it is not possible. You can convert from squared foot to squared meter. This is how you do that. 1 meter squared = 39.37/12 x 39.37/12 = 10.76 squared feet. If you have 14 individuals per sq ft, then you must have 14 x 10.76 = 150.64 individuals per meter sq

Answer 6

I got some sand for my backyard to make a mini beach ... anyway to make a long story short ... I asked the guy I was ordering it from. ---> Give them the measure of the area you want to cover. Tradespeople have ALOT OF EXPERIENCE dealing with these things. They will know immediately the cubic meters you need. Also be aware that tradies often call a cubic metre more simply "a metre". Seriously - leave it to them!

Answer 7

If I am getting you right you want to find out how much area you can cover from the earth dug out. For this you should be sure as to what should be the thickness of the soil you want to spread on the area. Ultimately the volume of the earth dug out has to be same as the earth spread out.

Just divide the volume of the earth dug out by the thickness you want to add to the area. You will come to know of the area.

One morepoint as the earth being dug will be more dense it will fill out more volume.

Answer 8

Meters cube is the volume measure and meters square is a measure of area. They cannot be equated.

Answer 9

(Taking d as dimension)
Metres cube is a measure of volume, d x d x d
But metres square is a measure of area, d x d
I don't think you can convert between them.
