you can't convert a volume to an area, it's not the same type of units.
A 6 face form have only one volume but has 6 area, it depend on the side you want to obtain the area.
15' 9" lONG = 15 + 9/12 = 15.75 feets (because 1 feet is 12 inches)
8'5" WIDE = 8 + 5/12 = 8.4166 feets
6" THICK = 0.5 feets
so here are the 3 possible area:
1-15.75 ft x 8.4166 ft= 132.561 square feets
2-15.75 ft x 0.5 ft = 7.875 squares feets
3-8.4166 ft x 0.5 ft = 4.208 square feets
