1. What is Cubic Feet?

Cubic feet (ft³) is a unit of volume that measures the three-dimensional space an object occupies. It's commonly used to measure the capacity of containers, rooms, and appliances.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Square Feet — The area measurement (length × width)
• Height — The third dimension (depth or height)

Explanation: To convert from square feet (area) to cubic feet (volume), you multiply the area by the height or depth dimension.

3. Practical Applications

Details: This calculation is essential for determining storage capacity, concrete volume for projects, refrigerator/freezer space, moving truck capacity, and more.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the square footage and height/depth in feet. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be in cubic feet (ft³).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between square feet and cubic feet?
A: Square feet measures area (2D space), while cubic feet measures volume (3D space).

Q2: How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard?
A: There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard (3 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft).

Q3: How do I convert cubic feet to gallons?
A: 1 cubic foot ≈ 7.48052 US liquid gallons.

Q4: Can I use this for irregular shapes?
A: This calculator assumes a uniform height. For irregular shapes, you'd need more complex calculations.

Q5: How accurate should my measurements be?
A: For most purposes, measuring to the nearest inch (0.08 feet) is sufficient. For precise calculations, measure more accurately.
