The cubic footage of a cylinder refers to the volume inside the cylinder, measured in cubic feet. To calculate the cubic footage, you use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
To find the cubic footage of a cylinder, you need to calculate the volume of the cylinder. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V = πr2h
The accuracy of the result depends on how precise the radius and height measurements are. The more accurately you measure the radius and height, the more accurate your cubic footage result will be. Also, remember that π\piπ is an approximation, but using 3.1416 gives a very precise result.
To convert from cubic feet to cubic yards, divide the volume in cubic feet by 27 (since 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet):
