Are yards and sq yards the same?

Answer 1

No. A yard is 1 dimension. (length) A square yard is 2 dimensions. (length and width)

for example: a square that measures 2 yard x 2 yards = 4 square yards (2 x 2 = 4) - 0r-

A rectangle that measures 1 yard x 4 yards = 4 square yards (1 x 4)

Answer 2

No, yards and square yards are not the same. Yards are a unit of linear measurement used to measure length, while square yards are a unit of area used to measure the size of a two-dimensional space. Square yards are calculated by multiplying the length and width of a space measured in yards.

Answer 3

square yard is yard squared or yard to the second power. Another way to look at it would be y*y.
