Square Yards (yd²)

Definition

A square yard (yd²) is an imperial unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 yard (3 feet). It equals 9 square feet or approximately 0.8361 square meters.

History

The yard has roots in Anglo-Saxon England. King Henry I reportedly defined the yard as the distance from his nose to the tip of his outstretched arm. The square yard became a natural unit for measuring moderate-sized areas.

Current use

Square yards are used for measuring carpet, flooring, fabric, and moderate land areas — especially in the United States, the United Kingdom, and India for construction and textile industries.
