Birch wood costs about 3.75$ per board foot. Meaning that a board that is one foot long will cost about 3.75$.
A board foot is 12 inches by 12 inches by 1 inch thick. A board 6 inches wide, 24 inches long and 1 inch thick is still 1 board foot. Any combination of the three measurements that add up to the first, 12x12x1 is considered 1 board foot.
i'm guessing the answer is in the question.
1 board foot is a board that is 1 foot long, 1 foot wide and 1 inch thick, so since you did not give length and with of the boards there is no way to answer your question.
If you have a board that is 1 by 12 inches that is 10 foot long you will have 10 inches of board feet. This a math problem.
A piece of wood 1" thick by 12" wide by 1' long, or the equivalent volume. The width and thickness are often planed down some. So, let's say you have a 6" wide board 2' long and 1" thick. That is 1 board foot. Or, let' s say you have a 6" wide hunk of lumber 2" thick and 1' long. That is 1 board foot. Or, to get out of the box, here, say you have a 4" by 4" hunk of lumber that is 0.75 feet long (9") long. That is 1 board foot. In other words, if you multiply the width in inches by the thickness in inches by the length in feet, you have the number of board feet.
Multiply 12 by 7 =84
if the board is 8 inches width by 8 foot long by 2 inches thick at $5.50 per linear board what is the price per board?

Cubic board feet is not a term used in the lumber industry, but it's obvious that a cubic foot is a cube that is one foot on an edge. A board foot, which is a common term used in the lumber industry is a piece of wood that is twelve inches wide, one inch thick and one foot long. Ten board feet would be a board one inch thick, twelve inches wide and ten feet long. (And no, a board doesn't have to be 12 inches wide. If it's 6 inches wide and 2 inches thick and one foot long, there is still one board foot of material there.) To make a cubic foot of wood, one might take one board foot of wood (12"x12"x1") and put it down, then stack another eleven pieces just like it on top the first one. That's 12 pieces of wood that are 1" thick for a total of 12" in height, and which are 12"x12" (length and width) giving us a volume of wood that is 12"x12"x12" or one cubic foot.
