Yard and Square Yard – A Short Note

A yard is a unit of length used in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. One yard equals 3 feet or 36 inches, which is approximately 0.9144 meters. Yards are commonly used to measure longer lengths or distances, such as in sports fields, fabric measurements, or landscaping.

A square yard (written as yd²) is a unit of area. It represents the area of a square that is one yard (3 feet) on each side. One square yard equals 9 square feet or 1,296 square inches, and approximately 0.836 square meters. Square yards are often used to measure surfaces like carpeting, lawns, or large fabric areas.

In short, a yard measures how long something is, while a square yard measures how much surface area it covers. Understanding both is useful in construction, gardening, and textile industries.

Centimeter and Square Centimeter – A Short Note

A centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to:

1 centimeter = 10⁻² meters (0.01 meters)

Centimeters are widely used to measure everyday objects like the length of a pencil, the width of a book, or the height of a small plant.

A square centimeter (symbol: cm²) is a unit of area that represents a square with sides one centimeter long:

1 cm² = (10⁻² m) × (10⁻² m) = 10⁻⁴ m²

Square centimeters are commonly used to measure surface areas of small objects, like the size of a photograph, a piece of fabric, or the area of a label.
