There are 2 standard ways that carpet is sold, either square yard or square foot. Depending where you are shopping, both are used still.

The carpet mills require orders be placed in square yards. Carpet stores began pricing their product in square foot because it was a smaller number and a more familiar size. Home Depot and some smaller stores still offer the price in square yards.

How many square yards are in this roll of carpet?

That roll of carpet has the square yardage of its width measured in yards multiplied by its length measured in yards. You may need to unroll it to find the length exactly, or if you are only looking for an approximate area and hence length, you can assume the roll is made up of concentric rings of carpet, measure the diameter of each ring from the inside to the outside (to the backing of the carpet) and use these find the circumference of each ring and sum them - this sum can be calculated by summing the diameters and multiplying that sum by π. The last ring will not usually not be a full ring, so it can either be measured directly or added in as a fraction of the whole ring multiplied by its diameter.
