Cubic feet (ft³) is a unit of volume measurement in the Imperial and US customary systems. It represents the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (0.3048 meters) in length.
The calculator uses the cubic feet formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of a three-dimensional space by multiplying its length, width, and height measurements.
Details: Cubic feet measurement is essential for determining storage capacity, shipping costs, material quantities, and space planning in construction, logistics, and interior design.
Tips: Enter all three dimensions in feet. Measurements can be decimals for precision. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How do I convert cubic feet to cubic meters?
A: Multiply cubic feet by 0.0283168 to get cubic meters.
Q2: What's the difference between cubic feet and square feet?
A: Square feet measures area (length × width), while cubic feet measures volume (length × width × height).
Q3: How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard?
A: There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard (3 feet × 3 feet × 3 feet).
Q4: Can I use this for irregular shapes?
A: This calculator is for rectangular spaces. For irregular shapes, you may need to break them down into rectangular sections.
Q5: How accurate should my measurements be?
A: For most purposes, measuring to the nearest 1/4 foot (3 inches) is sufficient, but precision depends on your specific needs.
