How square yards are calculated
If the dimensions are in yards, multiply length by width directly. If the dimensions are in feet, multiply length by width in feet and then divide by 9, because there are 9 square feet in one square yard.
One square yard also equals approximately 0.836 square metres. The conversions to square feet, square metres, and acres let you compare with different unit systems and larger-scale land measurements.
Square yards = Length (yd) x Width (yd)
Multiply length and width in yards to get area in square yards.
Square yards = (Length (ft) x Width (ft)) / 9
If dimensions are in feet, multiply and divide by 9 to convert to square yards.
