There's a bit of guesswork to be done on my part here because you're going from one dimension to two dimensions, and you can't actually do a conversion unless you know what the length of the second dimension is.

Potentially relevant examples:

1) If you have something that is 3 feet long and 2 feet wide, it's square footage is 3x2 = 6 square feet.

2)If you want to convert from square feet to square yards, it's a bit trickier. 1 square yard = 1 yard x 1 yard = 3 feet x 3 feet = 9 square feet. In the case of example 1, 6 square feet = 2/3 square yard, which can be calculated by converting feet to yards and then multiplying to find square yardage: 3 feet x 2 feet = 1 yard x 2/3 yard = 2/3 square yard.
