Roughly 22 square yards.
How many square yards of carpet are needed to cover a floor that is 15 feet by 15 feet?
Well 3 yards are in 1 foot so its 5 yards by 5 yards. So 5yds^2.
How many 1 foot square tiles will it take to cover a rectangle floor that measures 8 yards by 5 yards?
the answer is 40 square yards
How many square yards of carpet are needed to cover a floor that is 9 feet by 10 feet?
10 square yards. Note, the amount of carpet you have to pay for may actually be more than 10 square yards as you will have to buy the entire width of the roll * the length you need. Assuming it is 12' wide you would need 12 square yards and if its 15' wide you would need 15 yards. No carpet store sells carpet by what you need but only by what the width of the roll is. So if you need a 10 x 9 piece, the carpet only comes 12 foot wide so you would take home a piece of carpet 12 x 9.
How is carpet measured and priced?
There are 2 standard ways that carpet is sold, either square yard or square foot. Depending where you are shopping, both are used still. The carpet mills require orders be placed in square yards. Carpet stores began pricing their product in square foot because it was a smaller number and a more familiar size. Home Depot and some smaller stores still offer the price in square yards.
