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
