Sorry the first answer was in square yds. Cubic yards would be 0.308639
133.33 cubic yards, that's 400 feet
First of all divide 2" by 12" to get 0.1666 feet; then multiply 0.1666' x 40' x 40' which equals 266.56 cubic feet; Multiply 266.56 cubic feet x 0.03704 to get 9.8734; Therefore, 2 inches of topsoil from an area 40 feet by 40 feet = 9.87 cubic yards. Hope that helps. The number 0.03704 is purely a conversion rate for cubic feet to cubic yards.
2.37 cubic yards of dirt is needed to fill an 8'X4' that is 24" deep garden box. If the box is filled 12 inches, the amount of soil needed is 1.19 cubic yards and that should be deep enough for most vegetables.
A cubic yard of stone that is 4" thick would cover 9 square yards or 81 square feet. If you need to cover 7000 sq. ft., you would need roughly 86.5 cubic yards. That's a lot of rock.
To calculate the volume of a hole that is 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 6 feet deep, you multiply the dimensions: 6 ft x 6 ft x 6 ft = 216 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, you divide 216 by 27, resulting in 8 cubic yards of dirt needed to fill the hole.
To calculate the volume of the area, multiply the length, width, and height: 120 x 92 x 24 = 331,776 cubic inches. To convert cubic inches to cubic yards (since 1 cubic yard = 46,656 cubic inches), divide 331,776 by 46,656 to get approximately 7.1 cubic yards of dirt needed to fill the area.
To calculate the volume in cubic yards, first find the volume in cubic inches: (4 \times 8 \times 8 = 256) cubic inches. Next, convert cubic inches to cubic yards by dividing by 46,656 (since there are 46,656 cubic inches in one cubic yard). Thus, (256 \div 46,656 \approx 0.0055) cubic yards of dirt are needed to fill the area.
To calculate the volume of dirt needed to fill the area, you would need to know the depth of the area in yards. If the depth is 3 yards, then you would need 1800 yards of dirt (600 cubic yards ÷ 3 yards). If the depth is 1 yard, then you would need 600 yards of dirt.

When a person speaks of a 'yard' of dirt, sand, cement or similar material, they actually mean a 'cubic yard'. A yard is a measurement of length. A cubic yard is a measurement of volume.60 (cubic) yards of dirt is the equivalent of 1,620 cubic feet of dirt.One cubic yard is measured as an amount that is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet high, or 27 cubic feet.60 cubic yards equals 27 cubic feet x 60, which equals 1,620 cubic feet.If you spread 60 cubic yards of dirt one foot thick you'd have an area of 1,620 square feet.If you spread this dirt 6 inches thick you'd have an area of 3,240 square feet.
You find the square footage of the total area....40 X 60=2400 square feet. Then convert that to cubic yards by dividing by 27....(27 cubic feet per cubic yard) 2400 divided by 27= 85.1 cu. yards To raise the area by one foot, this would be the end of the calculation. If you were to only want to raise an area by 4 inches lets say....then you would multiply 85.1 by .33 or one third of a foot. (for 6 inches you would multiply by .50 or 1/2 foot) NOW, you have to take into account compaction or loss. When figuring concrete, allow up to 10%. When figuring dirt (depending on how sandy etc.) rule of thumb is to allow UP TO 1/3 for compaction. In your question above, allow for 1/3 and you would need another 28 yards (cu. yards). This would figure as 85.1 X.33 and would equal roughly another 28 yards. So, the total needed would be 85 cu. yds (85 rounded) PLUS 28 .....or a total of 113 cu. yards.
About two yards. One yard of dirt is 36 inches on a side, or 46,656 cubic inches. 15x20 foot by 2 inches is 86,400 cubic inches.
22.2222 cubic yards (the 2s keep on going).
Based on the category I am assuming we are takling dirt or mulch. 75 yds x 27 cuft (there is 27 cuft per 1 cuyd) = 2,025 cubic feet of material - 1 foot thick would be 2,025 sqft. - 6 inches thick would be 4,050 sqft. - 3 inches thick would be 8,100 sqft.
To raise 1 acre by 8 inches, you would need approximately 2,722 cubic yards of dirt. This calculation is based on the formula for volume of a rectangular prism (length x width x height) multiplied by the area of 1 acre in square yards (43,560 square feet).
806.66 Cubic Yards
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet6 inches = 1/2 footVolume of the ditch = (12 x 78 x 1/2) = 468 cubic feet = 17 1/3 cubic yards
