    Math Question
    Okay my little math whiz friends I need help calculating something and I so truly suck at math it's pretty much sad....

    I have a space we'll call it...it is 6 feet wide by 3 feet deep and is 9.5 feet tall. Now I know that gives me 18 sq feet but how does one figure out the true volume I guess you'd call it of this space. Basically a 6 foot x 3 foot retangle that is also 9.5 feet in height?

    Help me please oh math smart members. :)

    To find the Volume you multiply the Length,width, and height together



    So I think it ends up being 171 cubic inches...(You might want to check me on that though)

    Nope, it would be 171 cubic feet, not inches.

    A square foot is a unit of measurement for area, not volume. Cubic units are used to measure volume.

    Evan beat me to it, but the units are cubic feet.
