Measurement Unit Definitions
The square meter (m²) is the standard unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the area of a square with sides of one meter. Common applications include measuring floor areas, real estate, and construction projects. One square meter equals 1.19599 square yards.
The square yard (yd²) is a unit of area in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the area of a square with sides of one yard (36 inches or 0.9144 meters). This unit is widely used in measuring carpeting, outdoor spaces, and construction areas. One square yard equals 0.836127 square meters.
Conversion Formula
The formula for converting square meters to square yards is
yd² = m² × 1.19599
This conversion factor is sourced from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – Special Publication 811.
