A square yard is a measure of area that represents an area that is one yard by one yard in size. If you have a roll of paper 1 yard wide and you pull some off the roll and cut it off at a length of 1 yard, your piece of paper is 1 yard by 1 yard in size. It has 1 square yard of area. Note that, because the yard is three feet in length, the square yard is a square that is 3 feet by 3 feet, or 9 square feet. A square yard is 9 square feet. The reason we went here is because if the square yard doesn't have to be a perfect square. It can be a rectangle that is 2 feet by 4 1/2 feet in size. As long as the product of the length and the width is 1 square yard (or 9 square feet), you'll have that square yard. Extending the idea, any flat shape can have a square yard of area. As long as the equivalent "shaded area" of the shape equals the shaded area of a square that is 1 yard by 1 yard, both have an area of 1 square yard.
Knowing that the area is 1 square yard doesn't tell you the dimensions, or even the shape. IF the square yard of area is in the shape of a square, then each side is 3 feet long. But it doesn't have to be a square. If it's any other rectangle, and the length of the rectangle is 'L' feet and the width is 9/L feet, then the area is always 1 square yard. There are an infinite number of rectangular possibilities like this, and another infinite number of other shapes that it could be.
1 square yard of area = 9 square feet of area, even if there's nothing in the area.
They are both a measure of area. But there are 9 square feet in one square yard.
Yes.

The area of one square yard is 9 square feet. 3x3=9
I don't since a square foot is a measure of area whereas a yard is a measure of length.However, in 1 square yard there are 9 square feet:1 yard = 3 feet1 square yard = 1 yard x 1 yard (the area of a square with sides 1 yard)= 3 feet x 3 feet= 9 square feet
Knowing that the area is 1 square yard doesn't tell you the dimensions, or even the shape. IF the square yard of area is in the shape of a square, then each side is 3 feet long. But it doesn't have to be a square. If it's any other rectangle, and the length of the rectangle is 'L' feet and the width is 9/L feet, then the area is always 1 square yard.

A circle with a diameter of 9 yards has an area of 63.62 square yards.
1 square yard of area = 9 square feet of area, even if there's nothing in the area.
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
They are both a measure of area. But there are 9 square feet in one square yard.
A Yard is a measurement of length in one direction. Square Yards is a measurement of area. For a square area, you measure lenght of one side and muliply it by Width or the other side. A (Sq-Yd) = L (Yard) X W (Yard) Since a Yard = 3 Feet, then the area of a 1 yard by 1 yard square is Area (Sq-Ft) = 3 ft X 3 ft = 9 Sq-Ft So convert Area in Sq-Yards to area in Sq-Ft, multily by 9. Since a Yard = 36 Inches, then the area of a 1 yard by 1 yard square is Area (Sq-In) = 36 In X 36 In = 1296 Sq-In. Formula to convert 1 Sq-Yards to area in Sq-Inches, multiply by 1296.
To prove that 9 square feet equal 1 square yard, note that 1 square yard is equivalent to 3 feet by 3 feet, which gives an area of 9 square feet. This relationship stems from the fact that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet and area is calculated by multiplying the dimensions.
A yard is a unit of distance. A square foot is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
There are 9 square yards in a cubic yard at a thickness of 3 inches. This is because there are 9 square feet in a square yard and 36 cubic feet in a cubic yard, so the area is 9 square yards if the thickness is 3 inches.
