The square yard (yd²) is commonly used for textiles, carpets, and landscaping materials. A standard king-size bedspread requires about 20 yd² of fabric, while a small lawn might be 500 yd². This unit bridges the gap between square feet and acres in imperial measurements. The square foot (ft²) is the standard unit for real estate in the US and UK. A typical studio apartment is 500-600 ft², while a three-bedroom house might be 1,500-2,000 ft². This measurement is crucial for flooring, painting estimates, and property valuation.
To convert between Square Yard (yd²) and Square Foot (ft²), use the following formulas:
1 Square Yard (yd²) = 9 Square Foot (ft²)
1 Square Foot (ft²) = 0.11111111111111112 Square Yard (yd²)
10 yd² = 10 * 9 ft² = 90 ft²
50 yd² = 50 * 9 ft² = 450 ft²
100 yd² = 100 * 9 ft² = 900 ft²
500 yd² = 500 * 9 ft² = 4500 ft²
| Square Yard (yd²) | Square Foot (ft²) |

| 10 yd² | 90 ft² |
| 50 yd² | 450 ft² |
| 100 yd² | 900 ft² |
