A
300.0
B
312.0
C
200.0
D
250.0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A cord of firewood measures 4′ x 4′ x 8′ and contains 128 cubic feet. A “face cord” is 1/3 of a cord of wood, with the idea being that many folks cut their firewood into 16″ pieces. There will be three rows of 16″ pieces in 1 cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a cord? There are differences between the way many people measure firewood, but a true legal cord of wood is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood. To calculate a cord of wood simple multiply Width x Height x Length and divide that by 128. That will tell you how many cords you have.

Detailed explanation-3: -A loose thrown cord should take up about 180 cubic feet (6.66 cubic yards or 5.1 cubic meters) of space as is. The idea is that, when stacked, the total volume would equal roughly 128 cubic feet (3.5 cubic meters), or the volume of a full cord.
