How many cubic feet are there in a cubic yard?

9 cubic feet
18 cubic feet
27 cubic feet
36 cubic feet

The correct answer is: 27 cubic feet

A cubic yard is a measurement of volume that represents a cube measuring one yard on each side. To convert cubic yards to cubic feet, it's essential to know how many feet are in a yard; there are 3 feet in 1 yard. Therefore, when calculating the volume of a cube in cubic feet, you multiply the three dimensions: 1 yard = 3 feet So, for a cubic yard: Volume = Length × Width × Height = 3 feet × 3 feet × 3 feet = 27 cubic feet. This shows that a cubic yard consists of 27 cubic feet, which confirms that the correct answer is indeed the one that represents this conversion accurately. Understanding this relationship is crucial for tasks in construction, landscaping, and other fields where volume measurements are required.
