There can be no comparison. A linear yard is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a cubic yard is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

A linear yard is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a square yard is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

Does a yard stick or a tape measure measure sq. ft. or is there a special measuring tool?
A yard stick or a tape measure will measure linear distances: that is lengths in one dimension only. There is no specific tool for measuring area: you need to calculate area from the linear measures using various geometric formulae.
Square feet equals 1 square yard?
There are three feet in a yard. A square yard is one (linear) yard - that is three (linear) feet - in each direction. 3 x 3 makes 9; so a square yard is nine square feet.
How many inches are there in a football yard?
There are thirty six inches in any kind of linear yard.
How many cubic inches are in a cubic yard?
A cubic yard is a cube that measures one (linear) yard on each edge. There are 36 inches to the (linear) yard. To calculate the volume of a cube, raise the length of its edge to the power of three. (In other words, V = L cubed.) The answer is: 46656
How many linear feet are in a cubic yard?
linear feet and cubic yards (areas) are different units of measurement and can not be equated.
How many 12 inch squares in a yard?
There is no answer. A square is area. A yard is linear.
Convert linear yards to square yards?
A linear yard is a unit of length. A square yard is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
How many square feet in one linear yard?
None.Square feet are a measure of area;Linear yards are a measure of lengthand have no width.Area is length times widtharea_of_linear_yard = 1 linear yard x 0 linear yard= 0 square yards= 0 square feet
How can you convert onE yard to a linear yard?
A length of 1 yard is 1 linear yard!
80 linear feet equals how many square yards?
This would be an unanswerable question as 80 linear feet is a linear unit and square yards is a measure of area. Now if the yard is 80 linear feet by 80 linear feet , that would be an area of 6400 square feet. Since 9 square feet occupy a square yard, that would be an area of 711 1/3 square yards. But, 80 linear feet is only a measure in one dimension and area is a two dimensional measure
What are 27000 sq feet in linear yards?
A square foot is a unit of area. A linear yard is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.
How do you convert sq yard to linear feet?
You do not. A square yard is a measure of area. A linear foot, as the name suggests, is a measure of distance. The two measure different things and it makes no sense to try to convert from one to the other.
How many linear feet in one linear yard?
3 feet equals 1 yard
How do you Convert linear yard to square feet?
A square yard is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of distance. The two units are therefore incompatible.As long as you know the width you can convert square yards to linear feet. The formula I use is this... Linear feet = ((36SY)/w)/3. SY= square yards, w=width in inches. Many say you cannot convert a measyre of area to a measure of length, but as long as you know the width you can.
What is the difference between yard and linear yard?
its the same
How many yards in a cubic yard?
There are no yards in a cubic yard, because a yard is a linear unit of distance, whereas a cubic yard is a spacial unit of volume. A cubic yard is the volume occupied by a cube that measures one yard -- that's one linear yard -- on each edge. Since a linear yard equals three linear feet, a cubic yard is equal to 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cubic feet.
How many linear yard in 1 yard?
Exactly one.
