Cubic Yard Calculations
Square or Rectangle

length (in feet) x width (in feet)

x depth (in inches) / 324

= cubic yards.

Circle

Pi r2 (radius in feet)

x depth (in inches) / 324

= cubic yards.

Or

3.1416 x radius x radius (both in feet) x depth (in inches) / 324

= cubic yards.

Triangle

base x height (both in feet) / 2

x depth (in inches) / 324

= cubic yards.

Oval

length x width (both at midpoint in feet)

x .8 x depth (in inches) / 324 = cubic yards.

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
