convert inches into cubic feet

[laverne]

I want to convert 36"into cu.ft.

You can't convert a line into cubic feet. A line is one-dimensional.

To convert to cubic anything, you need a three-dimensional object, which adds a width and a depth, at a minimum.

1,728 cubic inches are in a cubic foot.

Dirtman is correct, you need a length, width, and depth for volume.

Ex:

12in tall * 12in wide * 12in deep = 12^3 = 1728in^3

how do i get the width from (cu ft): 19.8?????

[Chols]

Without knowing at least 2 sides you can't get a length. 19.8 cubic feet could be anysize or shape.

However, if it is a perfect cube, just take the cube root (^1/3) and you will get what the length, width, and height would be.

It sounds like you're trying to size up a refrigerator or freezer.

A family is going to keep their furniture in a storage facility for six months until their new home is ready for occupancy. If the storage space is 32 by 160 by 10 feet high and the facility charges $1 per cubic yard each month, what will the monthly storage cost be to the family?



PLEASE HELP!!

[Chols]

If your storage shed is 32ft X 160ft X 10ft, then that is a total of 51200 cubic feet.

Divide by 27 cubic feet to get cubic yards, which is 1896.30 cubic yards.

$1 per cubic yard would be $1896.30 per month, for a grand total of $11,377.78 for the 6 month duration.

A 5,120 ft^2 storage room?! I would call that a warehouse! This is either homework or it's going to be a really big house!

[Chols]

Yeah my impression exactly. I could assume the first two measurements to be inches and the height in feet, but for completeness I assumed they were all in feet.

For math I have to find the volume of a cylinder, the diameter is: 3 inches and the height is 6 inches. how do I find out how much cubic inches of wax was used to make the candle?

A cylindrical candle has a diameter of 3 inches and a height of 6 inches. How many cubic inches of wax were used to make the candle?
42.39 cubic inches
18.00 cubic inches
56.52 cubic inches
84.78 cubic inches

Volume of a cylinder
V = (pi)*r²*h or (pi/4)*d²*h,
you do the math

Ok my son is doing a science project & the structure we are building needs to be approximately 8000 cubic cm. how do we figure out what size our structure needs to be??

The cube root of 8000 is 20, so the project should be approximately 20cm x 20cm x 20cm or any similar derivative. As an example: 10cm x 30cm x 27cm = 8100 cu. cm
