Calculation method
Area
length*width/9Frequently asked questions
- Why divide by nine?
- A yard is three feet, so one square yard is 3 × 3 = 9 square feet.
- Is this used for carpet or concrete orders?
- Carpet and ready-mix are often sold by the yard in the US. Note that concrete is sold by cubic yards — volume, not area.
