You can put this solution on YOUR website!
volume of a rectangular prism is
V+=+a+b+c
given:
a lenght of a=1..+yard+
width of b=8..+inches and
height of c=1..+foot

Be sure to use the same units for all measurements. You cannot multiply feet times inches times yards, it doesn't make a perfectly cubed measurement.

let's take ft as measurements:
1 Inch = 0.08333333333 Feet
so, 8in+=+0.66666666664ftis the same as %282%2F3%29+feet
1yard+=3ft+

V+=+a+b+c
V+=+%282%2F3%29+ft+%2A%283ft%29+%2A+%281ft%29
V+=+2+ft%5E3
