We know that 1 yd------------> is equals to 3 ft so 1 yd³----------> is equals to (3 ft)³-----> 3*3*3 ft³------> 27 ft³
therefore
the answer is the option <span>Arionna is incorrect. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard because a cubic yard is a prism with dimensions 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft. A prism with those dimensions will take 27 cubes to fill it if each cube is a unit cube of 1 ft.</span>
