11 cubic metres

[y2j]

Does anybody know how to convet 11 cubic metres into metres or cm?

[parkesquay]

Your question does not really make sense. A cubic measurement is a measurement of volume and comprises elements of Length x Width x Depth. Metres or centimetres, as you have written it, is a linear or straight line distance. What exactly do you want to find out. All I can tell you from your question is that 1cubic metre = 1 million cubic Centimetres

[Buenchico]

11 cubic metres is a volume. Metres and centimetres are both measurements of length so you can't convert cubic metres into either metres or centimetres.

If you need to know how many cubic centimetres there are in 11 cubic metres, the answer is 11 million.

If, on the other hand, you wish to know the length of one side of a cube which has a volume of 11 cubic metres, the answer (accurate to the nearest centimetre) is 222cm or 2.22m.

If it's something else which you actually need to know, please post again with a clearer explanation of your problem.

basically what the problem is i am starting a new job from home and i have been told that i need 11 cubic meters of space. so i would like to know how big of a space is that?

[parkesquay]

I will add to the above in case you want to get some idea of how big a space 11**.* might occupy. Well it could simply be 11m long x 1m high x 1m depth(width). However if the space was 4m(L) x 1m(H) then the depth would be 2.75m. Does this help.

[parkesquay]

Well assuming a room height of 2m then a length of 3m with a width of just under 2m would be what you are looking at.

PS For Chris. 100x100x100 = 1 million.

Thanks for the clarification, y2j.

Parkesquay has already provided one way of looking at it. I'll just try expressing it another way which might make it easier to visualize.

As I've stated above, a cube which is 2.22m high, 2.22m long and 2.22m wide will have a volume of 11 cubic metres. If you live in a reasonably modern house, the chances are that your ceiling is roughly 2.2m above the floor. (If you'll excuse me mixing up imperial and metric units, that means that the ceiling will be about one foot above the tops of the doors).

So, assuming that you've got a fairly standard ceiling height, try imagining a big cube which is as high as your ceiling. Does that help?

For Parkesquay:

I thought that my first post agreed with your statement. 100 cubed certainly equals 1 million, which is why there are 1 million cubic centimetres in a cubic metre and hence, as I stated, 11 million cubic centimetres in 11 cubic metres.

I can't see where we differ!

Chris. Yeh OK - no argument there. I will give myself 100 lines - I must read more slowly. Not doing too well lately on that front am I!!!

[Buenchico]

I have weeks like that, Parkesquay :-)
(Probably about 51 of them every year!)

You did get me worried when I thought that I might have got it wrong. I suddenly panicked and thought that I might have spent fifteen years teaching maths based upon false information :-)

Ouch that's put me in my place. Actually I am quite good at number crunching but obviously not at reading. I hope the y2j has exactly what he wants cos I didn't mean to sidetrack the question.

So y2j give us your space measurements and between us Chris and I will tell you what you have by the way of cubic metreage

i guess these are the health and saftey rules we are talking about here? it is the same for office workers and how much space they should have ... hpwever i will add to the mix that if you have an extraordinarily high ceiling where you plan to have your workspace then you discount any height above a certain amount. I think the best thing to do would be to measure your ceiling height and go from there
