Yard to Meter (yd to m)
Result
0.9144 Meter
Formula
m = yd × 0.9144
1 yd = 0.9144 m, and 1 m = 1.093613298 yd.
The metre is the SI base unit, defined by the speed of light. Since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement the imperial and US customary units are defined exactly in metres: 1 yard = 0.9144 m, so 1 foot = 0.3048 m, 1 inch = 2.54 cm and 1 mile = 1,609.344 m.
Worked examples
- 1 yd × 0.9144 = 0.9144 m
- 100 yd × 0.9144 = 91.44 m
- 440 yd × 0.9144 = 402.336 m
- 1,760 yd × 0.9144 = 1,609.344 m
Things to know about yd to m
- The yard is exactly 0.9144 m; it is the unit the international foot and mile are defined from.
- An American football field (100 yd between goal lines) is 91.44 m; 1,760 yd make one mile.
