A square foot (sq ft or ft²) is a unit of area measurement equal to a square with sides of one foot. It's commonly used in the United States for measuring floor area and property size.
1 sq ft = 144 square inches
A square yard (sq yd or yd²) is a unit of area measurement equal to a square with sides of one yard. It's often used for measuring carpeting, landscaping, and larger areas.
1 sq yd = 9 square feet
Square Yards = Square Feet ÷ 9
Why divide by 9? Because 1 yard = 3 feet, so 1 square yard = 3 × 3 = 9 square feet.
