Here we will explain and show you how to convert square yards to square feet. Before we continue, note that square yards to square feet is also known as sq yards to sq feet, sqyd to sqft, yd2 to ft2, and yd² to ft².
To create a formula that we can use to convert 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
