Calculate the approximate number of board feet (one board foot is defined as a volume of 1 in x 1 ft x 1 ft) of lumber that would be available in a log that has a diameter of 26 cm and a length of 2.4 m. Assume the log is a right cylinder and that the saw mill must make the log into a rectangular prism before cutting it into boards.
