One square yard equals nine square feet. Or, 1 sq. yd. = 9 sq. ft.
Divide the number of yards by nine, and you'll get the number of square feet of carpet you'll need.
If you don't yet know how many square feet you have, measure the length and width of the area. Then divide that total by nine.
In other words: (Length in ft. x width in ft.)/9 = sq. yds.
