Square yards or square feet and cubic feet or cubic yards do not convert.
Square is a measurement of area, and cubic is a measurement of volume.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, and 1 square yard equals 9 square feet.
Sand, dirt, concrete, debris, etc. are measured in cubic yards. To determine how many square yards a cubic yard of something will cover, you must first determine how thick a layer will be.
For instance, using a single cubic yard of concrete, a concrete slab 3 feet thick will cover an area of 9 square feet or 1 square yard, while that same cubic yard of concrete, if poured only 1 foot thick, would cover 27 square feet of area. The area covered cannot be converted directly to cubic units until the factor of depth is included in the calculation.

There can be no equivalence.
A square foot is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space while a cubic yard is
a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things
and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at
conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
If it were possible to convert a volume to an equivalent area, then you'd be
able to calculate how many acres of gas you burned in the car last month.
It doesn't!!!! Your understanding of areas and volumes is not correct.
1 sq.yds is 9 sq.ft.
Remember
3ft = 1 yd Linear
3ft x 3ft = 9 sq.ft. ( 1 yd x 1 yd = 1 sq.yd) Area
3ft x 3ft x 3ft = 27 cu.ft ( 1yd x 1 yd X 1 yd = 1 cu.yd) Volume
There are nine square feet in one square yard.
One square foot is a ninth of a square yard.
9 sq ft = 1 sq yd, hence, 1 sq ft = 1/9 sq yd.
You don't convert cubic measure to square measure. It just doesn't make sense. Think of a square yard as being "infinitely thin".
1 square yard equals 9 square feet, so 10 sq yd times 9 equals 90 square feet.
1 square yard equals 9 square feet. Therefore, 131 square yards is equal to 1,179 square feet.
2 yards is a straight line measurement so you cannot determine square feet. If you are asking how many square feet are in one square yard then the answer is 9. If you have an area that is 10 feet by 10 feet then the square footage is 100 square feet. 100 square feet is equal to 11.11 square yards. 10 X 10 = 100 / 9 = 11.11
There are three feet in a yard. A square yard is one (linear) yard - that is three (linear) feet - in each direction. 3 x 3 makes 9; so a square yard is nine square feet.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, 35 feet x 48 feet = 1680 square feet.
