Square Yard [yd²]


A square yard (yd²) is a unit of area used mainly in the United States and the UK. It represents a square with sides 1 yard (3 feet) long.

1 square yard = 9 square feet = 0.8361 square meters.

Square yards are often used to measure carpets, lawns, and smaller plots of land.


Square Rod (US Survey)


A square rod (US survey) is a unit of area based on the US survey foot and rod, used primarily in land surveying in the United States.



  • 1 US survey rod = 16.5 US survey feet (exactly 16.5 feet)



  • 1 square rod (US survey) = 16.5 ft × 16.5 ft = 272.25 square feet ≈ 25.2929 m²



The US survey square rod is slightly different in exact length than the international measurement due to the foot definition but is essentially used the same way for land measurement.
