Calculate cubic feet by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object or space (all in feet). Use the formula: length (ft) × width (ft) × height (ft) = cubic feet. For example, a box measuring 3 feet in length, 2 feet in width, and 4 feet in height has a volume of 3 × 2 × 4 = 24 cubic feet.
