The question you are asking cannot be answered with the supplied information.

(And It reminds me of the riddle "which is heavier, a ton of bricks, or a ton of feathers?")

Cubic feet is a measure of area, while square feet is a measure of volume.

Area is calculated (in the case of a rectangle) using the equation Area = Length x Width

Volume is calculated using the equation Volume = Length x Width x Height or simply Volume = Area x Height.

Lets say you were working with concrete slabs (foundations). You want to build a garage that is 15ft wide, and 30 feet long. To calculate the square feet you would multiply the two, with a product (result) of 450 square feet. To find out how many cubic feet your slab is, you'dneed to know how thick it is.

If the thickness is 8" you'd have the following equation. 450 square feet x 8/12 foot = 300 cubic feet.

If the thickness is 1 foot you'd have 450 cubic feet. ( 450 Sq. ft x 1 ft = 450 Cu. ft)

If the thickness is 16" you'd have 450 square feet x 16/12 feet = 600 cubic feet.

You should get the point now.

Distance is linear feet, area is square feet, and volume is cubic feet. They all measure different things, and require something to calculate the next. You cannot calculate the area of a room from its length (without measuring the width), in the same sense that you cannot calculate the amount of air in a room without measuring the height of the ceiling.

How many gallons Lake Mead?

Water volume of 35.2 km3 (28,500,000 acre·ft)----- 28.5 million acre-feet x 43,560 square feet in an acre = 1.24 trillion cubic feet x 8.1 (gallons in a cubic foot) = 10 trillion gallons


What does a puddle of water 20'x20'x1 deep weigh?

First determine the number of square feet of the puddle. 20' x 20' = 400 square feet. Since the puddle is 1" deep, (I'm assuming the puddle is one inch even though there isn't any indication of whether the numeral one is an inch, or a foot. It's a puddle, after all.), we'll convert the 400 sq. ft. to square inches. 400 sq. ft. X 144 = 57,600 (There are 144 sq. inches in a sq. Foot) This give us the value in cubic inches. Next convert the entire number of cubic inches into cubic feet, it's a nice small number to deal with. There are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot so we'll divide the number 57,600 (cu. inches) by 1728 (cu. inches) to give us 33.333 cubic feet. Now multiply the number of cubic feet (33.333) times the weight of a cubic foot of water, which happens to be 62.4 lbs. (Water treatment field study, second edition) 33.333 X 62.4 = 2079.999 lbs. (Rounded off to 2080 lbs.) If the question was for a puddle 1 ft. deep the solution is even easier. Simply multiply the sides to obtain the square footage. Since the puddle is 1 foot deep the area, (square footage), of the puddle will be the same as the cubic volume, or 400 cubic feet. Now multiply that number times the weight of a cubic foot of water. 400 cu. ft. X 62.4 lbs/cu. ft. = 24,960 pounds.

How many feet in a in?

A cubic foot is a square, 1ft by 1ft by 1ft. It is equal to 1728 cubic inches or 12x12x12. If you had one square foot with something one foot high occupying the one square foot area, you would have 1 cubic foot. cubic feet measures volume, square feet area, and just plain feet or linear feet distance.

3000 cubic foot is equal to how many square feet?

A cubic foot is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space whereas a square foot is a measure of area in 2-d space. The two measure entirely different things and it makes no sense to try to convert from one to the other.


How do you convert sqare feet to cubic feet?

It depends on how thick each square foot is! Actually, a square foot isn't "thick" at all, so you could theoretically stack up an infinite number of them and still not reach the one foot high you would need to make a cubic foot. (cubic feet) = (square feet) × (height in feet)


How many cubic feet is 54 square feet at one inch depth?

There are 144 square inches in a square foot and 1.728 cubic inches in a cubic foot. So you have 7,776 square inches and that would give you 7,776 cubic inches. That would be 4.5 cubic feet.
