The estimating term is "linear" feet and is a measurement in a line.
Assume 160 lineat feet is a perimeter of a square. Then the square side equals 160/4 = 40 feet Then the area equals 40 x 40 = 1600 sq ft.
What is the answer to Estimating 5 feet and 6 inches into centimeter's?
A barrel bulk is a measure equal to five cubic feet, used in estimating capacity, as of a vessel for freight.
5 inches is 5/12 feet. So volume of concrete required is 490 x 5/12 = 204.16 cubic feet There are 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. Therefore the volume required is 204/27 = 7.56 cubic yards (say 8 cubic yards).

Estimating one of them is equivalent to estimating the other.
No, it is not. Estimating may be rounding but need not be.

There are different types of construction estimating services such as concrete estimating, metals estimating, masonry estimating, sitework estimating, opening estimating, electrical estimating, MEP estimating. WorldEstimating is one of the best construction estimating company which is offering accurate cost estimation and material takeoff in all over the world.
No. Measuring is getting an exact length. Estimating is guessing what the length is
An article on cost estimating in the building construction field, admittedly from an out dated source although the principles are still the same, is at http://www.inquirewithin.biz/Vol2/Estimating/estimating_foundations.htm.
The best and most accurate estimating software is SPSS.
