Iarde Quadrate
Calcolatore

Un'iarda quadrata è l'area coperta da un quadrato di un'iarda per lato. Un'iarda = 3 piedi, quindi un'iarda quadrata = 3 × 3 = 9 piedi quadrati. In termini metrici, 1 iarda quadrata ≈ 0,8361 metri quadrati.

Le iarde quadrate si usano per misurare tappeti, pavimenti, lastricati, terreni e materiali da costruzione. L'unità è comune negli USA, nel Regno Unito, in India e in Pakistan.

To calculate square yards from a rectangle, multiply the length by the width (both in yards). If your measurements are in feet, multiply length × width in feet, then divide by 9. If you're working in inches, multiply length × width, then divide by 1,296.

For triangles, use ½ × base × height (in yards). For circles, use π × radius² (in yards). If your measurements are in other units, first calculate the area in that unit, then convert to square yards using the appropriate factor.

A square yard and a square meter measure the same thing — area — but they come from different measurement systems. The yard belongs to the Imperial/US customary system, while the meter is metric. One square yard equals 0.8361 square meters, and one square meter equals 1.1960 square yards.

In practice, a square meter is about 20% larger than a square yard. If you're buying tiles priced per m² or comparing international property listings, knowing this difference saves money and avoids costly mistakes. Countries like India and Pakistan use both systems — land is sold in square yards (or "gaj"), but construction materials often come in metric.

Quick rule of thumb: multiply square yards by 0.836 to get square meters, or multiply square meters by 1.196 to get square yards.

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian system of architecture that links building dimensions to well-being and prosperity. In Vastu, the total plot area in square yards matters — but the length-to-width ratio matters even more. A ratio between 1:1 and 1:1.5 is considered ideal.

Square and rectangular plots are preferred. An east- or north-facing plot with balanced proportions scores highest. Irregular shapes — L-shaped, triangular, or plots with cut corners — are generally avoided in Vastu.

Common Vastu-compliant plot sizes in India include 100 sq yd (10 × 10 yd), 200 sq yd (10 × 20 yd), and 267 sq yd (13.3 × 20 yd). Use the calculator on the right to check any dimensions.

Whether you're planning a lawn, a garden bed, or a new fence, the first step is knowing your yard's exact size. Measure the length and width in feet (or any unit), and this calculator converts it to square yards, square feet, square meters, and acres.

Typical yard sizes in the US range from 150 sq yd (a small city lot) to 1,000+ sq yd (suburban properties). In South Asia, residential plots commonly come in 100, 200, 250, and 500 square yard sizes.

Knowing your yard size in multiple units helps you order the right amount of sod, seed, gravel, or mulch — and compare prices from suppliers who use different units.
