The cubic yards require that the width of the pile also be given.
Assume the width of the pile of dirt, w , is 80 feet.
V = ( L ) ( w ) ( h )
V = ( 300 ft ) ( 80 ft ) ( 10 ft ) = 240 x 10^3 cu ft
V = ( 240 x 10^3 cu ft ) ( 1 cu yd / 27 cu ft )
V = 8889 cu yd <------------------

How many cubic feet are in a yard?
Contractors and construction people often speak of "yards" of concrete, topsoil, or fill. They are in fact speakeing of "cubic yards" which is the common unit of measure when reffering to these items, they simply abbreviate and everybody they generally interface with understands that the quantity refferred to is cubic or a volume.For instance a concrete sidewalk 4 inches thick, 4 feet wide, and 120 feet long requires 1/3 foot X 4 feet X 120 feet or 160 cubic feet of concrete. There are 27 (3 X 3 X 3) cubic feet in a cubic yard. Then the sidewalk would require 160 ft3 divided by 27 ft3/yd3 or 6 cubic yards. The contractor would call the Ready Mix plant and say, "I need 6 yards of concrete at this address at this time" and 6 cubic yards would be delivered as requested.Additionally, Earth Moving equipment capacities are measured in cubic yards. It's not unusual to hear a contractor say, "Yah, we had to move 3,000,000 yards of fill to build that runway", or some other project.It's not proper terminology, but it is communicating, and that is the desired outcome. A yard is a measure of distance; a cubic foot is a measure of volume. They aren't compatible. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.

Assuming the figure is a perfect rectangle: There are three feet in one yard. Therefore, the long sides would be 210 / 3 = 70 yards long, and the shorter sides would be 180 / 3 = 60 yards long. Therefore, the perimeter would be (70 + 60) x 2 = 260 yards.

How many cubic feet of dirt is there in a hole that is two yards wide three yards long and one yard deep?
Two yards is six feet, three yards is nine feet, one yard is three feet. So your "hole" is 6 by 9 by 3 cubic feet. That is 162 cubic feet of "hole". That is the simple answer. The junior high school answer. But if you are asking this for real then that is a whole different matter. If you actually dug it out in dry dirt, you'd get about three times the effective volume of dirt. Your hole would "contain" 162 cubic feet of air ! But your pile of dirt would need about 500 cubic feet of truck space to carry it away, because it would be bulked up by the act of undigging it ! In the ground it is packed together, once you put a spade to it then it gets loose and the volume increases about 3 times.
