This tool quickly converts square feet to cubic yards for your specific project needs.
How to Use the Square Feet to Cubic Yard Calculator
This calculator helps you convert square feet to cubic yards. Follow the steps below:
- Enter the length of the area in feet in the “Length” field.
- Enter the width of the area in feet in the “Width” field.
- Enter the depth of the area in inches in the “Depth” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the result displayed in cubic yards.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses the formula for calculating cubic yards from square feet and depth in inches:
cubic yards = (length in feet * width in feet * (depth in inches / 12)) / 27
The length and width fields represent the footprint of the area, while the depth field represents the thickness of the material to be used in inches. The product of length, width, and depth (converted from inches to feet) is divided by 27 to convert the volume to cubic yards.
Limitations
Please note the following limitations of this calculator:
- This calculator assumes that the depth is uniform across the entire area.
- All measurements should be in feet and inches as specified.
- If any field is left empty or filled incorrectly, the calculator will prompt you to fill in all fields.
