You want to convert a length or distance into an area.
Feet (or yards) measure LENGTH and square feet (or square yards) measure AREA.
Length can never be directly converted to an area. However, carpet and flooring installers use a formula based on the total of linear feet (length plus width) to compute the area required. This is because the material is in fixed widths and can only be installed in certain widths or directions.
You want to convert an area into a length or distance.
Square feet measures AREA and linear yards measure LENGTH.
Area could never be converted to length.
You could convert sq. foot to sq. yard:
1 square foot = .1111111111111 square yard.
You could convert foot to yard:
1 foot = .33333333333333 yard.
Yards are good, but "linear" yards are unnecessary.
Carpet and flooring manufacuters use the following formula:
Number of linear ft. times .731 then they round to the next higher yard.
So, 28 linear ft. tinmes 0.731 = 20.47 Sq. Yds. rounded up to the nearest yard is 21.
I just ordered some flooring and that's how they told me to convert it.
Multiply square yards by 9 to convert them to square feet. 9 x 11,910 square yards = 107,190 square feet.
Square feet is a measure of area and linear feet is a measure of length. You cannot convert between the two.
Type your answer here... I HAVE 165.50 DIA DRILLED PIERS 3'-0" IN LINEAR FEET THAT I NEED TO CONVERT TO CUBIC YARDS OF DRILLED PIER CONCRETE.
A measurement in square feet is a measurement of area, while a measurement in cubic yards is a measurement of volume. The two units are, therefore, incompatible.You can, however, convert between square feet and square yards, or cubic feet and cubic yards.
111 linear yards is 333 feet.
You cannot convert a square measurement to a linear measurement. 110 sq. ft. is a square measurement. Yards is a linear measurement (=3 feet).
You can convert from linear feet to linear yards and multiply, or you can multiply the linear feet and then divide by 9 square feet per square yard. 60 feet = 20 yards (because there are three feet to the yard) 12 feet = 4 yards 20 x 4 = 80 square yards === === 60' x 12' = 720 square feet 720/9 = 80 square yards
To convert square feet to square yards divide by 27.
You can't convert that. You can convert feet to yards, or square feet to square yards.
To convert from square feet to square yards, multiply 184,183 by 0.1111.
Multiply square yards by 9 to convert them to square feet. 9 x 11,910 square yards = 107,190 square feet.
80 yards are 240 feet. Forget the word "linear". All length measures are linear.
To convert from square feet to square yards, multiply square feet by 0.11. So, 4.5 x 0.11 = 0.495 square yards.
You cannot convert area to linear measurement.
A square yard is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of distance. The two units are therefore incompatible.As long as you know the width you can convert square yards to linear feet. The formula I use is this... Linear feet = ((36SY)/w)/3. SY= square yards, w=width in inches. Many say you cannot convert a measyre of area to a measure of length, but as long as you know the width you can.
This works for me. I am working with 12ft. width rolls. I divide the square yards by 1.333333. If you have 4ft. width rolls, you divide by 0.444444, 6ft. width you divide by 0.666666. Therefore, in this method you need to know at least one other dimension.
Divide the number of square feet by 9 to convert to square yards.
