Question from Randy, a student: The cost of excavation is $4.50/ cu yd. Find the cost of excavating a basement 87 ft long, 42 ft wide, and 8 ft deep. |
Hi Randy,
I would first convert the length, width and depth to yards and then multiply the dimensions to find the volume to be removed in cubic yards.
