cubic feet to dimensions
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Kate:
One way to obtain cubic feet (CF) is to multiply length in feet * width in feet * height in feet (L*W*H=CF).
To break CF down into x dimensions, divide CF by known dimensions. You need to know two of the dimensions to calulate the third dimension. If you know only one, you can obtain the square footage of the remaining two sides.
If you know two of the three dimensions, say the height and width, rewrite the formula into ((CF/H)/W)=L.
An example would be a box that has the capacity to hold 7 cubic feet. If you know the height of the box, say it's 1.75 feet, divide 7 CF by 1.75'. The answer would be the square feet of the bottom, which would be 4 SF.
If you also know one side of the bottom, say the width is 1.5', the remaining side is 2.67' (4 SF/1.5'=2.67').
