Question

Why are there 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard

Answer 1

One cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet because one yard is equal to 3 feet

Solution:

Given that, there 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard

Yard and feet are units of distance

1 Yard (yd) is equal to 3 feet (ft). To convert yards to feet, multiply the yard value by 3.

The conversion factor for 1 yard to 1 feet is given as:

$1 \text{ yard } = 3 \text{ foot }$

Now find for 1 cubic yard . Cubic yard means yard raised to power 3

Therefore,

$1\ yard^3 = (3)^3\ feet^3\\\\1\ yard^3 = 27 feet^3\\\\1\ cubic\ yard = 27\ cubic\ feet$

Thus one cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet

Therefore, there are 27 cubic feet in one cubic feet
