A square yard (yd²) is a unit of area equivalent to the area of a square that has sides measuring 1 yard (3 feet) in length.
Therefore, 1 square yard = 1 yard × 1 yard = 3 feet × 3 feet = 9 square feet
To calculate the area in square yards, follow these steps:
To convert square yards to square feet, multiply the area in square yards by 9.
Area in square feet = Area in square yards × 9
Square yards are often used in construction and carpeting, as materials are often sold in larger increments and square yards provide a more practical measurement for large areas.
