How many cubic feet in a cubic yard? thanks.?

Answer 1

3 feet in one yard. So three yards by three yards by three yards should equal: 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet (3 x 3 x 3): or 27. At least, that is, if the universe has changed the number system on me, once again.

27 X 3 = 81

Answer 3

Think of a cubic yard as a box (cube) that has height = 3ft, width = 3ft, depth = 3ft.

The area of the box (cube) = H * D * W

And so, 3*3*3 = 27

Answer 4

1 yd ³ = 1 x 1 x 1 yd ³
1 yd ³ = 3 x 3 x 3 ft ³
1 yd ³ = 27 ft ³

Answer 5

27

if there are 3 feet per yard then there are (3 ft/ 1 yd)^3, which equals (3 feet)^3 per (1 yd)^3, which equals 27 ft^3 per 1 yd^3

Think of it like this... say you have a perfect cube with a volume of 1 yd^3... that is exactly 1 yd by 1 yd by 1 yd... its dimensions also measure 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft, because there are 3 ft per yard... multiply those dimensions to find the volume leaves 27 ft^3

Answer 6

3^3=27
3 feet per yard
1 yd^3=1 yd * 1 yd * 1 yd=3*3*3=27

Answer 7

basic formula:
1 yard = 3 ft

1 cubic yard = (1yard) * (1yard ) * (1 yard)
= (3 ft) * (3ft) * (3ft)
= 27 (ft * ft * ft)
= 27 cubic feet

Answer 8

1 yd = 3 ft

(1yd)^3 = (3ft)^3

1yd^3 =27 ft^3
