How do I measure the linear footage around the bottom of a tree plus adding on 3 feet from the bottom of tree to make a raised flower bed?

Wait wait.

Do you mean a 25 SQUARE foot flower bed. You do say flower bed "area".

If so the answer is different. 1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. So, just one cubic yard will cover 27 SQUARE feet to a depth of 1 foot. (27 x 1 = 27).

I'd say on that basis you need 1/2 cubic yard. The wisdom I've seen says to cover soil with about 4" of mulch.

For linear measure you are going to measure the perimeter all the way around.

Actually they are two different measurements and they are not equal. However if you need to come to an outside measurement of a square surface that is equal to a circumference, take the width and the length and add them together, multiply that by 2 and you have the outside distance around the square footage.

Good question. Rather than using volume as a criteria for airlines, they use linear feet, which is the length plus the width plus the height.

Adding 24", 10", and 15 1/2", we get 49 1/2".

Converting this to linear feet, we divide by 12 since there are 12 inches in a foot.

I get 4.125 or 4 and 1/8th feet.

Good luck.

linear feet is a length measurement as to how long it is --example : a piece of timber 20 feet long is 20 linear feet
the measurements you have provided will give a cubic feet measurements which is a volume measurement. so convert all the dimensions to feet , multiply all together and that will be your volume

Linear feet (often called Lineal feet) are the same as regular feet. No conversion is necessary. If something is 6 linear feet tall, it is 6 feet tall. FAQ What is linear feet How do convert it to feet FAQ What is linear feet How do convert it to feet

Linear footage is the length of the object that you are measuring. Linear means "in a line."

volume of any rectangular solid = length x height x depth. make sure you use equivalent units of measure. Don't mix inches and feet.

if you are talking about a home it is huge. But sq. footage is calculated by multiplying width by depth{ or height}. a room 100' x 39' would be 3900 sq./ft. a 10'x10' is 100 sq./ft.
