Depends on how wide the bolt of fabric is. A "yard" of fabric will always be three feet long, but it may be varyingly wide.
A yard is 3feet. A square yard is 3feet x 3feet; therefore, a square yard is 9sqaure feet. 5feet x 4feet is equal to 20sqare feet. To calculate the area in square yards, devide 20 square feet by 9 square feet. The answer, therefore, is 2.22 square yards.
6.88 square yards. (just divide square feet by nine to get square yards).
A square yard is a measure of area of indefinite dimensions, eg a rectangle 1 foot by 9 feet or 16 inches by 81 inches or a triangle 1 yard high with a 2 yard base etc etc. A yard square is 3 feet x 3 feet, which awkwardly is also a square yard.
Answer:A yard is a distance, whereas ft2 is a measure of area. Thus, there are no ft2 in a yard. However, if you meant square yards, there are 3(3) = 9 ft2 in a square yard. Note that a yard is 3 feet.
9 Square Feet in a Square Yard
Nine square feet in one square yard of fabric. So it's 3 sq ft per foot width.
That's 18 square feet - which is 2 square yards.
We have to presume you want to find out "what 480 sq feet is in 'SQUARE' yards. If it is square yards that you want to convert to you have to determine how many square feet there are in a square yard. A yard is 3 feet long a square yard is 3 feet by 3 feet, so to determine square feet in a square yard you multiply 3X3 to determine that there are 9 sq.ft in a sq.yard. So divide the 480 sq. feet that you have by the 9 sq. feet in a sq. yard: 480/9 = 53 1/3 square yards.There are other uses of the term yard which could apply, though. Fabric, for example, is measured in running yards (by a specific width of the bolt of fabric). The width could vary between 32 and 60 inches, depending on the fabric. So if you're trying to cover 480 square feet with fabric, then you would need more information. See related link below, about how fabric is measured.
Assuming that is 54 inches then that is 4.5 feet wide; one yard length = 3 feet total square feet = 4.5 x 3 = 13.5 sq ft

There are nine square feet in every square yard.
There are 9 square feet in one square yard.
9 square feet are in a square yard.
1 square yard = 9 square feet. A square yard cannot be equal to any number of feet.
1 yard = 3 feet 1 square yard = 9 square feet 3 square yards = 27 square feet
To determine square feet you need two dimensions: length and width. If the fabric is 500 yards long, then it is 1,500 feet long (3 feet per yard). If the fabric is 3 feet wide (36"), then the total is 4,500 square feet, but if it is 5 feet wide (60") then the total is 7,500 square feet.
First it depends how many people standing on it. Then measure the size my your head nd put it on your ahoew then go to melrose and kick the floor then kick your donkey in the grass with a potatoEverybody's yard is a different size. Measure the width (in feet), and multiply it by the length (in feet). This will give you area in square feet. Enough fun.... Now if you meant the unit yard, rather than a lawn : yard is a unit of length(equal to 3 feet). A square yard is a unit of area equal to a 1 yard by 1 yard square (hence square yard). So a square yard is (1 yd)2 = (3 ft)2 = 9 ft2 Then there is a yard of fabric, which is one yard (36 inches) long by the width of the bolt (roll of fabric).From eHow.com :'. . . the fabric on a bolt of cloth can vary from 32, 34, 36, 45, 54 and 60 inches in width. The most common widths are 45 and 60 inches.'So a 'yard of fabric' is usually not a square yard. See related link.
