The volume is about 1333.3333 cubic yards.
Explanation:
The equation for volume is as follows, where l is length, w is width, and h is height :
Knowing this, we can input the given length, width, and height from the equation:
After simplification, volume is found to be 4000 cubic feet:
As the question demands the answer in cubic yards, the volume of 4000 feet must be converted. The ratio of feet to yards is below.
In other words, every yard is three feet.
To find the value of 4000 cubic feet in yards, we must divide by three. Y is yards.
Therefore, the volume in cubic yards is roughly 1333.3333.
