That can't be answered. A square yard is a unit for measuring area. The area does not have to be square. The area could be one foot wide and nine feet long. ( 1x9=9 That makes 9 square feet, or one square yard. ) Or any variation.

If you assume the square yard is square, then each side will be 3 feet long, or one yard long. That is why one square yard equals nine square feet. 3x3=9
