1 yard = 3 feet

1^3 cubic yard = 3^3 cubic feet

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet


-------------------------------------------------------

Volume:

V = LWH

V = 4*2*5

V = 40 cubic feet

V = (40 cubic feet)*(1 cubic yard/27 cubic feet) = (40/27) cubic yards = 1.481 cubic yards

So the volume is roughly 1.481 cubic yards.
