1 square yard equals how many square feet?

Answer 1

Square yards or square feet and cubic feet or cubic yards do not convert.

Square is a measurement of area, and cubic is a measurement of volume.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, and 1 square yard equals 9 square feet.

Sand, dirt, concrete, debris, etc. are measured in cubic yards. To determine how many square yards a cubic yard of something will cover, you must first determine how thick a layer will be.

For instance, using a single cubic yard of concrete, a concrete slab 3 feet thick will cover an area of 9 square feet or 1 square yard, while that same cubic yard of concrete, if poured only 1 foot thick, would cover 27 square feet of area. The area covered cannot be converted directly to cubic units until the factor of depth is included in the calculation.

Answer 2

There can be no equivalence.

A square foot is a measure of area in 2-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.

If it were possible to convert a volume to an equivalent area, then you'd be

able to calculate how many acres of gas you burned in the car last month.

Answer 3

It doesn't!!!! Your understanding of areas and volumes is not correct.

1 sq.yds is 9 sq.ft.

Remember

3ft = 1 yd Linear

3ft x 3ft = 9 sq.ft. ( 1 yd x 1 yd = 1 sq.yd) Area

3ft x 3ft x 3ft = 27 cu.ft ( 1yd x 1 yd X 1 yd = 1 cu.yd) Volume

Answer 4

There are nine square feet in one square yard.

One square foot is a ninth of a square yard.

9 sq ft = 1 sq yd, hence, 1 sq ft = 1/9 sq yd.

Answer 5

1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. 3x3x3=27

Answer 6

You don't convert cubic measure to square measure. It just doesn't make sense. Think of a square yard as being "infinitely thin".

Answer 7

1 square yard = 9 square feet.
