Let's verify


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1ft=12in

  • Square on both sides


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1ft^2=144in^2

  • Again


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1ft^3=11728in^3

  • No no disagree

Answer:

Disagree

Explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

1 square foot = 1 ft x 1 ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 in²

1 cubic foot = 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft - 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in³

Therefore 1 cubic foot does not hold 12 times more than 1 cubic inch.
