There are 216 inches in 6 yards. To convert yards to inches, you can use the conversion factor that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches. Therefore, to find the number of inches in 6 yards, you would multiply 6 yards by 36 inches/yard, which equals 216 inches.
3 Feet in a yard, there are 12 inches in a foot so there is 36 inches in a yard
I can't say I know what a quot is, but I have seen this used in measurements in place of inches. However, I can't find anything that defines this as an alternate measurement category, name for inch, or having anything to do with measurements.
The answer depends on what shape you are trying to find the area for. For the simplest shapes there are relatively simple formulae. For slightly complicated shapes you might need divide up the shape into simpler shapes, calculate the area of each using formulae and add the results together. For even more complicated shapes, you may need to integrate. If none of these work, you may need to use approximations. In all cases, measuring the dimensions of the original shape in inches will give the reult in square inches: otherwise you will need to convert,
