Dimensions are as follows width, w = 24 inches depth, d = 36 inches length, l = 30feet => length, l =30*12 in l = 360 inches volume V = w*d*l V = 24*36*360 V = 311040 in3 but 1 (cubic in) = 2.14334705 × 10-5 cubicyard so volume V = 311040* 2.14334705 *10-5 cubic yard volume V = 6.66 cubic yards (optionA)
