ft to yards
by Ace on 09/21/05 at 16:45:28

I have two additions to build, the first foundation is 12 x 24 and the second is 12 x 26 how many yards of cement  do i need for each. Also the footings are

12x12x12, 24Lx12Wx12H, 12x12x12        

12x12x12, 26Lx12Wx12H, 12x12x12

The formula for volume is:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

12 foot * 12 foot * 12 foot = 1728 cubic foot

1728 cubic foot / 27 = 64 cubic yard

You would just need to do the same for each foundation. Multiply the dimensions in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards.
