This is the worth math I've ever seen! 1 acre = 43,560 SF, take the square root of 43,560 to give you the base numbers of the acre = 208.71 feet for both the height and width of an acre to get square feet of an acre. Divide 208.71 / 3 = 69.57 yards for the height and width of the acre. Multiply 69.57 x 69.57 = 4,840 square yards in an acre. A cubic yard is simply 4,840 square yards dug down 3 feet or one yard. So one acre has 4,840 cubic yards of dirt if you only dig down 3 feet. If you dig down 6 feet that doubles and so on. One acre would have 48,400 cubic yards of dirt if you dug down 30 feet or 10 yards. Using a one cubic yard example if you removed one cubic yard of dirt from an acre you would have 4,480 cubic yards of dirt, and one cubic yard of dirt weighs approximately 1.3 tons so once cubic acre weighs 1.3 x 4,840 acres = 6,292 tons.

Yards of dirt are there in an acre of land?

There are 43,560 square feet in an acre of land. To determine the volume of dirt in an acre, you would also need to know the depth of the dirt. If you assume a depth of 1 foot, then there would be 43,560 cubic feet of dirt in an acre.


How do you convert acre feet of storage to cubic yards?

To convert acre-feet to cubic yards, you can use the conversion factor that 1 acre-foot is equal to 1613.26 cubic yards. Simply multiply the number of acre-feet by 1613.26 to obtain the equivalent volume in cubic yards.


How many cubic yards in 6 acers of land 3 feet deep?

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet1 acre = 43,560 square feetVolume = (6 x 43,560) x (3) = 784,080 cubic feet = 29,040 cubic yards


How many cubic feet in one acre inch of water?

1 acre = 4,840 square yards = 4,840 x 9 square feet = 43,560 square feet. 1 square foot 1 inch thick equals 1/12 of a cubic foot, so 43,560 square feet 1 inch thick equal 1/12 x 43,560= 3,630 cubic feet.


How many square yards in a square acre?

There are 4,840 square yards in an acre. However, the term "square acre" is incorrect. An acre, by definition, is a unit of area, and therefore the "square" prefix is unneccessary.Moreover, an acre is not generally thought of as "square" anyway, because there is no way you can posit a square acre using whole numbers for the lengths of the sides. An acres is 43,560 square feet. The square root of this number is approximately 208.7103. That would be the approximate length of the sides of your "square acre".Traditionally, an acre was defined as an area 660 feet (one furlong, or ten chains) long and 66 feet (one chain) wide. But an acre need not be this shape to be considered an acres. Any piece of land that is 43,560 square feet in area is considered an acre.

Cubic yards per acre?

An acre is a two dimensional measurement for land area, whereas a cubic yard is a three dimensional unit. There are 4840 square yards per acre, so in an acre plot with 1 yard depth, there would be 4840 cubic yards.


How much dirt is there in a hole three acres square and two hundred feet deep?

There is no dirt in the hole, but if you want to know how much dirt was removed to create the hole, then:3 acres is an amount of area (you don't have 'square acres'). You could express this volume as acre-feet, but this term is usually used when referring to flooding (an acre of land flooded with 1 foot of water, for example). 1 acre = 43560 square feet, so 3 acres = 130680 square feet.(130680 square feet)*(200 feet) = 26136000 cubic feet {26.136 million cubic feet} In the dirt industry, the standard measurement is cubic yards {often referred to as just 'yards' of dirt}. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, so this is equivalent to 968000 cubic yards.

How many cubic yards of topsoil will you need for one acre land at 4 inches deep?

To determine the amount of topsoil needed for one acre at a depth of 4 inches, first convert the depth from inches to feet: 4 inches is 1/3 of a foot. There are 43,560 square feet in an acre, so the volume in cubic feet is 43,560 sq ft * (1/3 ft) = 14,520 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, divide by 27 to find the volume in cubic yards: 14,520 / 27 ≈ 538.89 cubic yards. Therefore, you will need approximately 539 cubic yards of topsoil.
