How much cubic ft of dirt comes out of a hole 17ft by 9ft by 6ft?

Finding the exact volume of a hole is a very tricky subject. This is due to the fact that holes are nearly always irregular in shape. The bottom may have a larger volume than the top and vise versa. We can use some applied science to get us a rough estimate though!
We just need to ask ourselves what 3D geometrical shape is a hole closest to? Well we have a flat hole on top, and round body, and a flat bottom. That sounds just like a standard household battery, which is a cylinder.
The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is Pi(Radius^2)Height. Or Pi times the radius squared times the height.
It's safe to assume that your measurement is written as 17' length x 9' width x 6' height. So we simply plug in our necessary numbers.
- Formula: Pi (Radius^2) x Height.
The radius for this hole is half the measurement of its width, assuming the hole is a perfect cylinder (which it's not), so 4.5 feet.
- Formula: Pi (4.5 ft^2) x Height
The height of our object is pretty clear at 6 feet.
- Formula: Pi (4.5 ft^2) x 6 feet.
In our case, we will just use the standard 3.14 for Pi.
- Formula: 3.14 (4.5 ft^2) x 6 feet
Now we simply just do the mathematics:
- (3.14 (20.25 ft^2)) x 6 feet
- 63.585 ft^2 x 6 feet
- 381.51 feet^3.
Therefore a hole that measure 17' x 9' x 6' should yield at minimum 382 cubic feet of dirt. It may hold more or less given it's irregular shape.

How much soil is there in a hole measuring one meter by one meter by one meter?
The volume = 6 x 2 x 1 = 12 cubic meters Actually there is no dirt in a hole.
To the nearest cubic centimeter how much soil is there in a 3m X 2m X 2m hole?
None. Its a hole. But you would have removed 3 x 2 x 2 = 12 cubic meters of dirt, which is 120,000 cm3.
Why man hole is called man hole.?
comes from the simple idea that a man entered a 'hole' to locate tunnels below ground.

A hole that is 2 yards wide 3 yards long and 1 yard deep How many cubic feet of dirt are in it?
None. It's a hole. 162 cubic feet of air. There is no dirt in a hole.
How much dirt is in a hole 2ft by 3ft by 6 ft?
If the hole is a square then there is 36 cubic feet of dirt in the hole.

There is no dirt in the hole -_-'
How much dirt is in a 3'x5'x2' hole?
30 cubic feet of dirt have been removed,and no dirt remains in the hole.
How much dirt is in a hole that measures 2 ft by 3 ft by 4 ft?
There's no dirt in a hole.
How much dirt is in a hole 3'x5'x2'?
There would be no dirt in a hole, but the hole would fit 30 cubic feet.
How much dirt is in a hole 2ft long 3ft wide and 2ft deep?
AnswerNothing.... (no dirt in a hole)Answer1800 lbsSize of hole = 3 x 3 x 2 = 18 cubic feet, x 100 lbs per cubic foot = 1800 lbsAnswerIf there is dirt in the hole, it would remove the hole, so there is no real answer to this. You could ask "If dirt is 100 lbs per cubic foot, what is the weight of 18 cubic feet?", to which the answer is 18*100=1800 lbs... Have fun!
How much dirt is in a hole if the hole is 10 ft in width 5 ft long and 20 ft deep?
Theoretically, none. The amount of dirt excavated to create such a hole would be 1 cubic metre. However, excavated dirt (depending on the nature of the dirt) can increase in mass by up to a third the original size. That is why when you dig a big hole then fill it in (getting all the dirt back) the hole is raised on top not flat.
How much dirt is in a 3 feet hole and is 6 feet long?
None. A hole is cubic.
A hole that is 2 yards wide3 yards long and 1 yard deep How many cubic feet of dirt are in it?
None because it's a hole but 6 cubic yards of dirt will fill it up.
How many cubic feet of dirt is in a hole that is 2 feet wide 3 feet long and one yard deep?
No dirt because its a hole
How much dirt is there in a hole 3 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot?
There is none. Because there is a hole! If you are asking how much dirt can fill the hole, then your answer is 27 cubic feet.
