Key Formulas

Acre → Square Foot

ft² = ac × 43560

Square Foot → Acre

Hectare → Acre

ac = ha × 2.47105

Acre → Hectare

ha = ac × 0.404686

Formula

yd² = ft² × 0.111111

A square yard is 9 ft² — since 1 yd = 3 ft, then 1 yd² = 9 ft². This means 1 ft² = 1/9 yd² = 0.111 yd². Carpet installers, landscapers, and concrete contractors use this daily — carpet is often sold by the yd² while rooms are measured in ft².
