Hi, ive never posted in this section before but its urgent.

How would it be possible to convert m^2 into m^3 if possible at all?

thats it really.

cheers.

:)
 
to clarify

yeh, i just realised that it didnt make any sence the way I put it.

um, right,

cost of concrete is £37.00 per m^2
i then need the cost of it in m^3.

I think i know how to do it now but im not 100% as im very tired.

cheers.
 
Cheers!!

Thank you Prosoothus!!! :D
I was going to do it:

square root of 37.00 cubed.
Gives the same answer anyhow.

thank you!
 
Captain_Crunch,

Let me correct my previous post.

The m^2 of concrete you are talking about has to have a thickness. Knowing this thickness will help you figure out how much a m^3 of concrete costs.

i dont know the thickness that why i didnt know if it was possible before.

i'll just do like you said in your previous post even if it isnt the correct answer. its roughly correct.

It may not be even roughly correct.

For example, if the m^2 of concrete is 1 meter thick, then a m^3 of concrete costs 37 pounds.

However, if the m^2 of concrete is only 10 cms thick, then one m^3 of concrete would cost 370 pounds.

Tom
 
I see what your saying and thanks for pointing this out to me. I can get round this by stating that i have took the concrete to be 1 meter thick.
 
There is no way to convert from m^2 to m^3, even roughly. It doesn't even make sense to talk about the price of concrete per m^2, since concrete is sold by volume.

if it were sold by area, it would still have a thickness and thus be a volume.

tom, what were you thinking!!! (nevermind, I can probably figure....)
 
you're question was confusing to begin with. if you state your problem how it was specified....

basicly from the first question you wrote, you wanted to convert two dimensions to three.
 
yes but that implies that you have an area, or three dimensions with one of them being zero.

if i have x number of meters squared of concrete of thickness 0, then i have no concrete, reguardless of what number x is..... you see?

there must be an implied thickness to it.
 
if i have x number of meters squared of concrete of thickness 0, then i have no concrete, reguardless of what number x is..... you see?

yes.

so how would i incorporate a thickness of 1m into the equation?
 
if the thickness is 1 m, then m^2 = m^3


that is to say, for every square meter of surface area you can stand on, there is 1 cubic meter of concrete benethe your feet
 
o.k, so this still stands as the correct answer:

square root of 37.00 = 6.082
=6.082 x 6.082 x 6.082
= 225.062
=£225.06

or does that mean:

£37.00per m^2 = £37.00 per m^3 ??!!

cheers
