First off let me state that a square is not three square feet. Very few squares have the area of exactly are 3 sqft. The only squares that would cover an area of 3 square feet would be square root of 3 (1.73205081) feet on a side. Is your square 1'8-25/32" on a side? If you can say "yes" then your the answer to your question is "yes".
Interesting side note: A square that is 1' on each side covers 1 square foot, but a square that is 2' on each side covers 4 square feet. This is because we multiply the dimensions to figure out the area of a square. And when we multiply to numbers that are the same it is called squaring. Funny that.
The square root is simply the the name of the task of figuring out what number multiplied by itself makes the number you started with. Ain't math crazy!

There are 9 square feet in one square yard - that is, three feet in both a vertical and horizontal direction. Therefore, 980 square feet is equal to 980 / 9 = 108.8 recurring (that is, 108.8888...) square yards.
There are 43560 square feet in an acre. Therefore, rounded to three significant figures, 3900 square feet is equal to 3900/43560 = 0.0895 acres.
There are 43560 square feet in an acre. Therefore, rounded to three decimal places, 4500 square feet is equal to 4500/43560 = 0.103 acres.
There are 43560 square feet in an acre. Therefore, rounded to three decimal places, 7200 square feet is equal to 7200/43560 = 0.165 acres.
There are 43560 square feet in one acre. Therefore, rounded to three decimal places, 20000 square feet is equal to 20000/43560 = 0.459 acres.
