How the cubic Feet Calculator works
Cubic feet is simply length times width times height with every dimension in feet. It is the standard unit for freezers, moving boxes, engine displacement in classic trucks, and firewood, where a cord is 128 cubic feet.
ft³ = length(ft) × width(ft) × height(ft) | 1 ft³ = 7.48 gallons
Example: a 4 by 3 by 2 foot chest is 24 cubic feet, which holds about 180 gallons or 0.89 cubic yards.
