How many square ft in a yard? - Answers

First it depends how many people standing on it. Then measure the size my your head nd put it on your ahoew then go to melrose and kick the floor then kick your donkey in the grass with a potatoEverybody's yard is a different size. Measure the width (in feet), and multiply it by the length (in feet). This will give you area in square feet. Enough fun.... Now if you meant the unit yard, rather than a lawn : yard is a unit of length(equal to 3 feet). A square yard is a unit of area equal to a 1 yard by 1 yard square (hence square yard). So a square yard is (1 yd)2 = (3 ft)2 = 9 ft2 Then there is a yard of fabric, which is one yard (36 inches) long by the width of the bolt (roll of fabric).From eHow.com :'. . . the fabric on a bolt of cloth can vary from 32, 34, 36, 45, 54 and 60 inches in width.
