Cubic Yards (yd3)
A cubic yard is an Imperial or U.S. customary unit of measurement of volume, which is represented as yd3. It is the volume of a cube with measurements of one yard long, one yard wide, and one yard deep. One cubic yard can be written symbolically as 1 cu. yd or 1 yd3. One cubic yard is equal to 0.7645549 cubic meters, 764.5549 liters, 27 cubic feet, 46656 cubic inches, 4.80890 oil barrels, and 201.9740 US gallons.
From the definition of one cubic yard,
1 cubic yard = 1 yd × 1 yd × 1 yd
Cubic Yards to Cubic Meters
A cubic meter and a cubic yard are the units of measurement of volume. Volume is a mathematical quantity that is used to measure the amount of three-dimensional space that is occupied by a three-dimensional object. The volume of a three-dimensional object varies with its shape, like cubical, cuboidal, cylindrical, conical, etc. The volume of an object is usually measured by using SI-derived units such as cubic meters and liters and different imperial units such as cubic inches, cubic yards, pints, gallons, etc. Generally, while solving some problems, we need to convert units. For example, you are asked to find the volume of a cubical container in liters, and its side length is given in inches. So, after calculating the volume of the container, we have to convert the obtained volume in cubic inches to liters. Before converting one unit to the other, we need to understand the relationship between the units. In this article, we will discuss the conversion of cubic yards to cubic meters.
