Question

A cord of wood is a bundle measuring 4ftby4ft by 8ft.What is the volume of a cord of wood in cubic feet?

Answer 1

4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cubic feet.  

Answer 2

as opposed to the "cord" you get when buying firewood. which is 4X8X the length of a log. also known as a face cord.

approximately one standard bed pick up load.

Answer 3

To quote Wikipedia:

"In the United States, firewood is usually sold by the cord, 128 ft³ (3.62 m³), corresponding to a woodpile 8 ft (2.4 m) wide × 4 ft (1.2 m) high of 4 ft-long logs. The cord is legally defined by statute in most states."

so 128 cubic feet is the answer.

This is easily found by going to Google (www.google.com" and typing "cord" and "wood". This leads to the answer you were looking for.
