Square Yard
A square yard (yd²) is a unit of area in the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as the area of a square with sides that are each 1 yard long. One square yard is equal to 9 square feet or 0.8361 square meters.
The square yard is derived from the yard, a unit of length in the imperial system. The yard was originally based on the length of a human's stride or other reference lengths in ancient times, but it became standardized in the 14th century during the reign of King Edward II of England. The square yard, as a unit of area, developed as a way to measure spaces like floors, gardens, and plots of land in a more manageable form than smaller units. The square yard continues to be used today, particularly in real estate, landscaping, and construction, mainly in countries that use the imperial or U.S. customary systems.

The square foot is derived from the foot, which was historically based on the length of a human foot. The foot has been used for thousands of years in various cultures and was standardized in England during the 12th century. The square foot, as a unit of area, developed to provide a practical way to measure spaces in both residential and commercial contexts. It is widely used for measuring the area of rooms, homes, yards, and buildings, particularly in countries that use the imperial system or U.S. customary units. Despite the global adoption of the metric system, the square foot remains commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other regions for real estate, construction, and interior design.
