You want to convert a length or distance into an area.
Feet (or yards) measure LENGTH and square feet (or square yards) measure AREA.
Length can never be directly converted to an area. However, carpet and flooring installers use a formula based on the total of linear feet (length plus width) to compute the area required. This is because the material is in fixed widths and can only be installed in certain widths or directions.

To convert square feet to linear yards, you need to know the width of the material in feet. Divide the square footage by the width of the material in feet to get linear yards. The formula is Linear Yards = (Square Feet / Width in Feet).

Square feet measures AREA and linear yards measure LENGTH.
Area could never be converted to length.
You could convert sq. foot to sq. yard:
1 square foot = .1111111111111 square yard.
You could convert foot to yard:
1 foot = .33333333333333 yard.
Yards are good, but "linear" yards are unnecessary.
Carpet and flooring manufacuters use the following formula:
Number of linear ft. times .731 then they round to the next higher yard.
So, 28 linear ft. tinmes 0.731 = 20.47 Sq. Yds. rounded up to the nearest yard is 21.
I just ordered some flooring and that's how they told me to convert it.
