How to Calculate Cubic Meters for Fire Wood

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Sunday, August/04/2024

1). Measure the circumference of the log in centimeters. Our example log has a circumference of 240 centimeters.
2). Convert the circumference to meters by dividing by 100, because 100 centimeters make up a single meter. Continuing the example, the circumference is 2.4 meters.
3). Divide the circumference by 2 times the number pi to get the radius in meters. Use 3.14 for the number pi; 2 times 3.14 is 6.28. In our example, 2.4 meters divided 6.28 equals a radius of .38 meters.
4). Measure the height of the log in meters. Our example log is 8 meters long.
5). Multiply the number pi times the height and times the square of the radius to obtain the volume of the log in cubic meters. Completing the example, 3.14 times 8 meters times (.38 meters squared) equals 3.6 cubic meters of firewood.
