Question

need to know if answer is cu ft or sq ft?

Answer 1

141.3 cu ft divided by 80 sq ft is 1.7625 ft. You're dividing a volume by an area so the answer has to be a linear dimension. Cubic means the power 3 (3 dimensions or volume) and square means the power 2 (2 dimensions or area), so the result is 3-2=1 dimension (linear).
