Convert cubic yard to cubic foot

What is a cubic yard?

While evaluating volumes, one can encounter both systematic and non-systematic options. To the latter belongs a cubic yard that is common for the British.

To understand its value, we should first refer to the yard itself. This option appeared in medieval Great Britain as the distance from the tip of the king’s nose to the middle finger of the outstretched hand. However, it changed every time with the change of the monarch and that caused a lot of confusion.

At last, one yard was decided to be of the same length as 3 feet or 0.9144 meters. Therefore, one yd^3 is the same as a cube with all dimensions of one yard. This will be almost the same value as for one cubic meter.

The unit is not a systematic one but is still common in English-speaking countries and especially in the UK for measuring different volumes.

What is a cubic foot?

The cubic foot is a common option for volume evaluation in the USA. It can be designated as cft or ft^3 or cu.ft.

This unit corresponds to the volume occupied by a cube that have dimensions of 1 foot. In its turn, a foot is nearly equal to 0.3048 meters. Thus, one cubic foot is smaller than the systematic options.

In addition, it also equals approximately 28.3168 liters. Therefore, when you have some liquid measured in liters and want to transform it into cubic feet, you have to divide the given number by this multiplier.

Americans utilize cubic feet in different areas like construction, architecture, geology, etc. Thus, the size of large pieces of furniture or appliances is often given in these units.

It is worth mentioning that the cubic foot is common in the US, Canada and some other countries, but it does not belong to the standard system.

How to Convert cubic yard to cubic foot

Convert cubic yard to cubic feets is a straightforward process that might be accomplished manually operating specific instructions.

First, it's crucial to comprehend the connection among yd³ and ft³. One cubic yard is analogous to 27 cubic feet because there are 3 feet in a yard, and you have to breed the length, width, and height in feet to figure cubic yard to cubic foot.

Here are the instructions for the transformation: ft³=yd³×27 ft³=yd³×27

For the model, if you have 3 yd³ of soil that you want to remake cubic yard to cubic ft: Cubic Feet =3 Cubic Yards×27=81 Cubic Feet. So, 3 cubic yards are equal to 81 cubic feet.

This transformation can be accomplished manually, and it's a helpful skill, mainly when performing with importance in building, landscaping, or any other field that deals with three-dimensional sizes.

To convert cubic yard to cubic foot , the formula is used,
1cubic yard=27cubic feet
where the yd^3 to ft^3 value is substituted to get the answer from Volume Converter.

How many cubic yard in a cubic foot

Cubic yard to cubic feet are volume elements but differ in ranking. There are 27 ft³ = in a single cubic yard. To picture this, suppose a cube 3 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet tall; this is one cubic yard. If you split it, you'll find 27 smaller cubes, each one cubic foot. So, 1 yd³ = 27 ft³=. This discrepancy is vital for correct volume sizes, particularly in building and landscaping.
