yards is a unit of measurement, just like meters or miles.

Typically, yards are used to find the length and width in construction projects- such as redoing a kitchen counter top or installing a new sink.

Also, people who buy fabric for window treatments or quilts measurement the amount of purchase in yards.

it's typical to use the measurement of yards in America, Canada

Also, people use yards in sports or activities
