A square yard (abbreviated as yd2 or sq yd) is a unit of area in the imperial system of measurement, equal to 9 square feet.
It's a common unit used in various everyday and commercial applications, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The square yard originates from the English imperial system and is linked to the linear yard, a unit of length with a fascinating history.
The yard was once defined by the human body, described as the distance from King Henry I's nose to his outstretched thumb or the length of a person's belt.
By standardizing the linear yard, the square yard became a reliable unit for measuring land for commerce and taxation, as well as for quantifying textiles during the growth of the cloth trade.
Beyond being an abstract measurement, the square yard is a practical unit used frequently in everyday life.
Its most common applications include:
Understanding square yards is crucial for accurately costing projects and purchasing the right amount of material for your home or garden.
Calculating an area in square yards is simple. You need to measure the length and width of your space in yards and then multiply them together.
Formula: Length (in yards) × Width (in yards) = Area in Square Yards (yd2)
For example, if you're carpeting a room that is 4 yards long and 3 yards wide, you would multiply 4 × 3 to get 12 square yards.
