I just can not seem to work this out, i think it is old age catching up with me, I am buying a trailer that is 25 feet long 7.5 foot wide and with 4 foot sides and i am trying to work out how many m^3 it will hold can anyone help. |
Hi Ron,
I would first change all the dimensions to metres. What I remember is that there are 2.54 cm in an inch so
2.54 cm/in
12 in/ft
Multiply each of your three dimensions by 0.3048 to convert them to metres and then multiply these three dimensions together to find the volume in cubic metres.
