A yard is a measure of length or distance. A cubic yard is a measure of volume. One does not mean the other.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A yard, being 3 feet, causes a cubic yard to be 27 cubic feet.
\n" ); document.write( "Concrete slab of 14 ft. by 16 ft. by 6 inch is the same as being 14 ft. by 16 ft. by (1/2) ft. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The volume as cubic feet is $\"14%2A16%2A%281%2F2%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The volume as cubic yards would then be $\"14%2A16%2A%281%2F2%29%2A%281%2F27%29\"$ cubic yards.\r
