Square meter to square yard

Both ‘meter’ and ‘yard’ are units used to measure length. Among the two, ‘meter’ is the standard international unit, whereas yard is as per local preferences. When the measurement unit used is ‘meter,’ the corresponding area reading is in square meter (m², sq meter). Similarly, when the measurement unit used is ‘yard,’ the corresponding area reading is in square yard (sq yard). Both units are commonly used to measure land as well as properties.

To ensure accurate measurement, it is important that all the parties involved in a land/property deal adhere to one measurement unit. Thus, one may need to convert 1 square meter to square yard, or square yard to square meter, to come at a common figure.

‘Foot’ (plural: feet) is another unit used to measure length. When the area of a two-dimension object or land is calculated with feet (ft) as the unit, the corresponding reading is in square feet (sq. ft).
