This article will show you a list of items that are around 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n

It can be difficult to determine how tall 12 feet really is unless you have a measuring tool on hand. 

\n\n\n\n

If you are trying to estimate the height of something, learning about different items of the same height can be helpful and you will be more accurate with your estimations. 

\n\n\n\n

Here are 7 things that are 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n
  1. African elephant
  2. 2 Refrigerators
  3. 12 Rulers
  4. Garage door
  5. 6 Golden retrievers
  6. 10 Bowling pins
  7. 4 Tennis nets

How tall is 12 feet?

\n\n\n\n

12 feet is equal to 4 yards or 3.65 meters. It is also equal to 365.76 centimeters or 144 inches.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. African elephant

\n\n\n\n

The African elephant is one of the most recognizable animals in the world.

\n\n\n\n

It is a great example of something that measures 12 feet tall. 

\n\n\n\n

Although their height can vary from 8 feet to 13 feet tall, it is common to see an adult African elephant stand 12 feet tall from shoulder to the ground. 

\n\n\n\n

The male African elephants will grow to be larger than the females, although the females can still reach this height.

\n\n\n\n

Not only is the African elephant tall, but they are known to weigh up to 14,000 pounds

\n\n\n\n

2. 2 Refrigerators

\n\n\n\n

Most people are familiar with a standard size refrigerator that is commonly used in many households.

\n\n\n\n

These fridges are normally around 6 feet tall. So picturing 2 of them together would equal 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n

Although different sized refrigerators are available, like mini fridges and bar fridges, referencing 2 full sized fridges will give you an idea of 12 feet in height.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3. 12 Rulers

\n\n\n\n

A ruler is one of the best items to reference when trying to estimate the height or length of items. 

\n\n\n\n

A standard size ruler like the ones you would see in schools and offices, is 12 inches or 1 foot long. 

\n\n\n\n

If you had 12 rulers lined up together on the floor, they would equal exactly 12 feet long. 

\n\n\n\n

Where each ruler is 1 foot long, you can use it as a guide to guess the length or height of anything you choose.

4. Garage door

\n\n\n\n

If you own a home with a garage, chances are it will have a door.

\n\n\n\n

Although many garages designed for 1 or 2 cars will have a door height of 7-9 feet, it’s common for garages designed to hold an RV or camper to have a much taller door opening. 

\n\n\n\n

Certain detached garages will have doors that are 12 feet tall at a minimum so it will be suitable for taller vehicles.

5. 6 Golden retrievers

\n\n\n\n

Many families looking to have a dog as a pet will choose the golden retriever as they are known to be friendly and have a great personality.

\n\n\n\n

The golden retriever is also a popular choice for families with children as they are known to be great around kids and not aggressive.

\n\n\n\n

Most golden retrievers will grow to be around 2 feet tall. 6 of these dogs placed one on top of the other would equal 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

6. 10 Bowling pins

\n\n\n\n

A bowling pin is a great item to use when comparing the size of certain items.

\n\n\n\n

Many people like to bowl and you may be familiar with how tall a bowling pin is. 

\n\n\n\n

1 bowling pin is 15 inches tall which is 3 inches taller than 1 foot.

\n\n\n\n

So if you can picture 10 bowling pins placed one on top of the other, they would equal 150 inches tall which is 12.5 feet.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

7. 4 Tennis nets

\n\n\n\n

A tennis net that is used for pro gameplay around the world has a height of 3.5 feet at both poles and 3 feet at the center of the net.

\n\n\n\n

As the tennis court extends across the court, it has a noticeable sag in the center. 

\n\n\n\n

This sag is 0.5 inches lower than the height of the poles on each end.

\n\n\n\n

The sag in the net is intentional and there for strategic gameplay. 

\n\n\n\n

So if you were to add the heights of 4 tennis nets together measured from the center, combined would equal 12 feet tall. 

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How many inches is 12 feet?

\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to convert feet into inches, you will need to multiply the number of feet by 12.

\n\n\n\n

For example, 12 feet is equal to 144 inches.

\n\n\n\n

12 x 12 = 144. 

\n\n\n\n

What animal is 12 feet tall?

\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, the African elephant can reach 12 feet tall. 

\n\n\n\n

Also, a giraffe can grow to be up to 18 feet tall with some reaching only 12 feet in height.

How to calculate cubic feet

\n\n

\nTo calculate the cubic feet volume or capacity of an item or space, measure the length, width and height in feet and then multiply the measurements together: length \u00d7 width \u00d7 height.\n

\n
\n\n
\n\"Diagram\n\n
\n\n

\nIt's not an everyday problem, but there will be times when you need to calculate the capacity of something. Instead of staring blankly into the \ntrunk of your car, getting a tension headache trying to find the biggest bathtub, or weeping when confronted by the decision over buying a new \nfridge-freezer or oven, just take control! \n

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

\nThere are only three measurements you need to take to work out the volume or capacity in cubic feet: length, width and height. It's worth being \naware of the object you're measuring, however.\n

\n\n
\n\"Measuring\n
\n\n

\nFor example, if you're aiming to measure the cubic feet capacity of a refrigerator, you need to \nmeasure the space inside the fridge, and not the dimensions of the exterior. You can read instructions for measuring a refrigerator here.\n

\n\n

\nOnce you've obtained the three measurements, it's only a case of multiplying them together. \n

\n\n
\nVolume (cu ft) = Length (feet) x Width (feet) x Height (feet)\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n

Calculating irregular shapes

\n\n

\nIf the shape is irregular, mentally divide it into regular shapes and calculate the volume for each part separately, before adding them all together.\n

\n

\nFor example, an L shaped cabinet designed to fit the corner of a room could be dealt with as two different rectangles, one longer, one shorter. \nJust work out the capacity of each one individually and then add them together for the total capacity of the cabinet.\n

\n\n
\n\"How\n
\n\n

Converting from units other than feet

\n\n

\nIf you're shopping online, the dimensions of something may only be given in inches. If you're looking at plans for a room, maybe the figures are \ngiven in meters or yards. But don't worry! To arrive at the cubic feet measurement, you only need to add one extra step into your calculations...\n

\n\n
    \n
  • If you need to convert to cubic feet from inches: divide the final number (i.e. the total you get after multiplying the three dimensions together) by 1728.
  • \n
  • If you need to convert to cubic feet from meters/metres: multiply your final number by 35.31.
  • \n
  • If you need to convert to cubic feet from yards: multiply your final number by 27.
  • \n
\n\n

\nIf you have a figure in square feet and want to convert to cubic feet, you can simply multiply it by your height \nmeasurement. Or, you can use our conversion tool\n

\n\n

\nLet's go through the individual calculations one at a time...\n

Calculating cubic feet from inches

\n

\nIf you have measured the dimensions of your item in inches then do the following:\n

\n
    \n
  1. Multiply your length, width and height figures together, giving you a total in cubic inches (in\u00b3)
  2. \n
  3. Divide the total by 1728 (as there are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot).
  4. \n
\n\n

Inches to cubic feet example

\n

\nLet's say you're looking for the capacity of a refrigerator that measures 64" x 28" x 29" inside. Here's the process...\n

\n\n
    \n
  1. Multiply your inches measurements together: 64 x 28 x 29 = 51968 cubic inches.
  2. \n
  3. Divide the result by 1728: 51968 / 1728 = 30.074 cu ft.
  4. \n
\n\n

\nYou can then check your answer against the calculator at the top of the page. \nWe'll look at some more real world calculation examples later in this article.\n

\n\n

Calculating cubic feet from meters

\n

\nIf you have measured the dimensions of your item in meters then do the following: \n

\n\n
    \n
  1. Multiply your length, width and height figures together, giving you a total in cubic meters (cbm)
  2. \n
  3. Multiply the total by 35.31.
  4. \n
\n\n

Calculating cubic feet from yards

\n

\nIf you have measured the dimensions of your item in yards then do the following: \n

\n\n
    \n
  1. Multiply your length, width and height figures together, giving you a total in cubic yards (yd\u00b3)
  2. \n
  3. Multiply the total by 27 (as there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard).
  4. \n
\n\n

\nOnce you've calculated your result, you can check it against the calculator at the top of this page. You may then wish to \nconvert your figure to gallons if you're going to be ordering a quantity of material or \nliquid.\n

How to convert from cubic inches to cubic feet

\n

\nOne cubic foot equals 1728 cubic inches. To convert from cubic inches to cubic feet, divide your cubic inches figure by 1728. If you don't \nwant to do this manually, give the volume converter a try.\n

\nI want to buy a dressing-up box for my daughter, but one looks longer while the other looks taller. I can't judge by eye which one can store the most costumes. \n

\n

\nBox A is 70" x 30" x 30" = 63,000".\n

\n

\n63,000 divided by 1728 (cubic inches to cubic ft conversion) = 36.45. \nSo it is 36.45ft\u00b3\n

\n

\nBox B is 60" x 28" x 45" = 75,600".\n

\n

\n75,600 divided by 1728 (cubic inches to cubic ft conversion) = 43.75.\n

\n

\nSo it is 43.75ft\u00b3. Box B has the larger capacity, so I will buy that one.\n

\n
\n\n

\nLet's try another...\n

\n\n
\n

Example 2

\n

\nMy friend is driving us on a trip, and I need to work out how much stuff I can bring.\n

\n

\nThe trunk of her car is L shaped, because there's a storage section built into one corner to hold a toolbox. The largest rectangle of the L is 60" x 30" x 35" and the smaller rectangle is 18" x 14" x 35".\n

\n\n

\nLarger rectangle\n

\n60 x 30 x 35 = 63,000.
\n63,000 divided by 1728 = 36.45.
\n36.45ft\u00b3\n

\n\n

\nSmaller rectangle\n

\n

\n18 x 14 x 35 = 8,820.
\n8,820 divided by 1728 = 5.10.
\n5.10ft\u00b3\n

\n

\nAnd the two added together (36.45ft\u00b3 + 5.1ft\u00b3 ) makes a total capacity of 41.55ft\u00b3.\n

This article will show you a list of items that are around 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n

It can be difficult to determine how tall 12 feet really is unless you have a measuring tool on hand. 

\n\n\n\n

If you are trying to estimate the height of something, learning about different items of the same height can be helpful and you will be more accurate with your estimations. 

\n\n\n\n

Here are 7 things that are 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n
  1. African elephant
  2. 2 Refrigerators
  3. 12 Rulers
  4. Garage door
  5. 6 Golden retrievers
  6. 10 Bowling pins
  7. 4 Tennis nets

How tall is 12 feet?

\n\n\n\n

12 feet is equal to 4 yards or 3.65 meters. It is also equal to 365.76 centimeters or 144 inches.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. African elephant

\n\n\n\n

The African elephant is one of the most recognizable animals in the world.

\n\n\n\n

It is a great example of something that measures 12 feet tall. 

\n\n\n\n

Although their height can vary from 8 feet to 13 feet tall, it is common to see an adult African elephant stand 12 feet tall from shoulder to the ground. 

\n\n\n\n

The male African elephants will grow to be larger than the females, although the females can still reach this height.

\n\n\n\n

Not only is the African elephant tall, but they are known to weigh up to 14,000 pounds

2. 2 Refrigerators

\n\n\n\n

Most people are familiar with a standard size refrigerator that is commonly used in many households.

\n\n\n\n

These fridges are normally around 6 feet tall. So picturing 2 of them together would equal 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n

Although different sized refrigerators are available, like mini fridges and bar fridges, referencing 2 full sized fridges will give you an idea of 12 feet in height.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3. 12 Rulers

\n\n\n\n

A ruler is one of the best items to reference when trying to estimate the height or length of items. 

\n\n\n\n

A standard size ruler like the ones you would see in schools and offices, is 12 inches or 1 foot long. 

\n\n\n\n

If you had 12 rulers lined up together on the floor, they would equal exactly 12 feet long. 

\n\n\n\n

Where each ruler is 1 foot long, you can use it as a guide to guess the length or height of anything you choose.

4. Garage door

\n\n\n\n

If you own a home with a garage, chances are it will have a door.

\n\n\n\n

Although many garages designed for 1 or 2 cars will have a door height of 7-9 feet, it’s common for garages designed to hold an RV or camper to have a much taller door opening. 

\n\n\n\n

Certain detached garages will have doors that are 12 feet tall at a minimum so it will be suitable for taller vehicles.

5. 6 Golden retrievers

\n\n\n\n

Many families looking to have a dog as a pet will choose the golden retriever as they are known to be friendly and have a great personality.

\n\n\n\n

The golden retriever is also a popular choice for families with children as they are known to be great around kids and not aggressive.

\n\n\n\n

Most golden retrievers will grow to be around 2 feet tall. 6 of these dogs placed one on top of the other would equal 12 feet tall.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

6. 10 Bowling pins

\n\n\n\n

A bowling pin is a great item to use when comparing the size of certain items.

\n\n\n\n

Many people like to bowl and you may be familiar with how tall a bowling pin is. 

\n\n\n\n

1 bowling pin is 15 inches tall which is 3 inches taller than 1 foot.

\n\n\n\n

So if you can picture 10 bowling pins placed one on top of the other, they would equal 150 inches tall which is 12.5 feet.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

7. 4 Tennis nets

\n\n\n\n

A tennis net that is used for pro gameplay around the world has a height of 3.5 feet at both poles and 3 feet at the center of the net.

\n\n\n\n

As the tennis court extends across the court, it has a noticeable sag in the center. 

\n\n\n\n

This sag is 0.5 inches lower than the height of the poles on each end.

\n\n\n\n

The sag in the net is intentional and there for strategic gameplay. 

\n\n\n\n

So if you were to add the heights of 4 tennis nets together measured from the center, combined would equal 12 feet tall. 

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How many inches is 12 feet?

\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to convert feet into inches, you will need to multiply the number of feet by 12.

\n\n\n\n

For example, 12 feet is equal to 144 inches.

\n\n\n\n

12 x 12 = 144. 

\n\n\n\n

What animal is 12 feet tall?

\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, the African elephant can reach 12 feet tall. 

\n\n\n\n

Also, a giraffe can grow to be up to 18 feet tall with some reaching only 12 feet in height.

We are wanting to pour a 24'x30' slab that is 5" deep. How many cubic yards of cement do we need? Thanks!

\n\n
\n\n\n \n \n \n \n

Hi Debbie,

\n

24 ft is 24/3 = 8 yards
\n 30 ft is 30/3 = 10 yards
\n 5 inches is 5/36 yards.

\n

Thus the volume is

Before calculating the volume of this cylinder, we must either convert the diameter to feet or the height to inches. I'll do the latter, to avoid getting a very small number.

\n

Recall that there are #12# inches in #1# foot. Thus, we can state:

\n

#(12\" in.\")/(1\" ft.\") =(x)/(4\" ft.\"#

\n

#x = (12\" in.\" xx 4cancel\" ft.\")/(1cancel\"(ft.)\")#

\n

#x = 48\" in.\"#

\n

Hence, the cylinder has a height of #48# inches.

\n

Now, we can apply the formula for volume of a cylinder to effectuate our calculation. The formula in question is #V = a_\"base\" xx h#, or #V = r^2pi xx h#.

\n

However, we know our diameter but we don't know our radius. As you probably know, the diameter is linked to the radius b the formula #d = 2r#. Solving for #r# and substituting:

\n

#r = d/2#

\n

#r = 12/2#

\n

#r = 6#

\n

#:.# The radius of the cylinder measures #6# inches.

\n

#V = r^2pi xx h#

\n

#V = 6^2pi xx 48#

\n

#V = (36 xx 48)pi#

\n

#V = 1728pi\" in\"^2#

\n

Note that this answer is in exact value. Rounded to two decimal places, the volume is #5428.67\" in\"^2#.

\n
