Measure the length of the area in yards
Measure the width of the area in yards
Multiply the length by the width
Use the formula: square yards = length × width
If measurements are in feet, divide each by 3 before multiplying
If the area is not a rectangle, break it into smaller shapes, find each area, and add them together
For triangles, use: square yards = (base × height) ÷ 2
For circles, use: square yards = π × radius²
Round the final result if needed
