Here we will explain and show you how to convert 285 square yards to square feet. Before we continue, note that 285 square yards to square feet is also known as 285 sq yards to sq feet, 285 sqyd to sqft, 285 yd2 to ft2, and 285 yd² to ft².
To create a formula to calculate 285 square yards to square feet, we start with the fact that one yard equals three feet. Therefore, this formula is true:
yards × 3 = feet
However, we are dealing with square yards and square feet, which means yards and feet to the 2nd power. Thus, we take both sides of the formula above to the 2nd power to get this result:
yards² × 3² = feet²
yards² × 9 = feet²
yd² × 9 = ft²
Now we know that one square yard is equal to 9 square feet, and the formula to convert square yards to square feet is as follows:
yd² × 9 = ft²
Below is an illustration showing you how one square foot fits into one square yard. The cut out in pink is how one square foot fits into the entire square yard. One square foot is 11.11 percent of a square yard.
When we enter 285 square yards into our newly created formula, we get the answer to 285 square yards converted to square feet:
yd² × 9 = ft²
285 × 9
= 2565
