Question 142574: A family decides to build a small basketball court in their backyard so their children can play at home. A concrete pad is to be poured that is ½ foot thick, and has dimensions of 15 feet by 15 feet. One cubic yard is equivalent to twenty-seven feet cubed. How many cubic yards of concrete must be poured? Round to the nearest cubic yard. Show all work. Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume of the slab is cubic feet
112.1 cubic feet
Convert to yards using 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
112.5 ft^3 * (1y^3/27ft^3) = 4.166 cubic yards.
Rounded to nearest, 4 cubic yards.
Thus the pad will be a little thinner than 6 inches deep.
