Square Foot to Square Yard (ft² to yd²)
Result
0.1111111111 Square Yard
Formula
yd² = ft² × 0.1111111111
1 ft² = 0.1111111111 yd², and 1 yd² = 9 ft².
Area factors are the square of the length factor: 1 ft = 0.3048 m, so 1 ft² = 0.3048² = 0.09290304 m². The acre is 43,560 ft² (4,046.8564224 m²) and the hectare 10,000 m².
Worked examples
- 1 ft² × 0.1111111111 = 0.11111111 yd²
- 10 ft² × 0.1111111111 = 1.1111111 yd²
- 100 ft² × 0.1111111111 = 11.111111 yd²
Common mistakes
- Do not apply a length factor to an area: 100 m² is 1,076.39 ft², not 328 ft² (100 × 3.28).
- A plot described as "20 × 30 ft" is 600 ft²; convert each side to metres first or convert the area afterwards — never just one side.
