To calculate how many meters are in half a yard, you first need to divide one yard into half to get a number, that is useful to convert into meters.
First, halving a yard. A yard is three feet, and halving that would give you 1.5 feet, hmmmm, that doesn't seem to helpful, let's try something else. There are 36 inches in a yard (three feet = 12 inches x 3 = 36 inches). Dividing that by half (or the number 2), 36/2= 18 inches. I think I can work with 18 inches.
So, having a value--18 inches, I need to convert that into meters. I need to find an easy relationship of inches to meters. Inches are relatively small, and a meter is pretty big, so, that would be rather tricky to do. How about I convert inches into centimeters (cm). A centimeter is one hundredths of a meter, and relatively close in size to an inch.
Let's see now, I know that a centimeter is equal to approximately .394 inches or one inch is exactly equal to 2.54cm. I like that number--2.54cm, because it is exact, rather than an approximation.
Looking at the information we have, I need to figure out how 18 inches relates to 1m (meter). I have found that 1in = 2.54cm. Therefore, I can multiply 18in by 2.54cm = 45.72cm! So, half a yard is equal to 4.72cm, but I need meters. Remember I said that centimeters were 1/100th of a meter. So, how about we divide 45.72cm by 1/100? Easy, move the decimal place on 45.72 two places to the left, and you now have the correct number, 0.4572. But what is that number, exactly?
If you have been kinda' keeping track all along, you will know that it is the number of meters in one half of a yard.
0.4572 meters
There are 0.9144 meters in one yard.
There are about .836 square meters in a square yard.
A yard is three feet, so half a yard would be one and a half feet.
365.8 meters.
78 meters fencing goes around the yard so you are looking for the perimeter Perimeter=2length+2width Perimeter=2*26+2*13=52+26=78meters
half (1 yard) = 0.4572 metres
There are 1.376 meters in 1.5 yards. 1.5 yards x 0.9144 meters/1 yard = 1.3716 meters 1 yards = 0.9144 meters
1 yard = 0.9144 meters (exact)
There are 0.9144 meters in one yard.
0.83612736 sq meters to a sq yard
There are about .836 square meters in a square yard.
One cubic yard equals 0.76455485798 cubic meters.
A yard is three feet, so half a yard would be one and a half feet.
1 yard is 0.91 meters.
365.8 meters.
250 yards = 228.6 meters.
4,000 meters=4,374.45319 yards
