If you are planning to purchase the house, then there is a high chance that you will have to convert square feet to square yards or vice versa. This is mainly because different states and regions of India have different methods of calculating land area. Similarly, different real estate agents calculate land area differently.

Square feet and square yards:

Square feet can be defined as the area of a square having 1 foot on each side. Square yards defined as the area of square having 1 yard on each side.

Both these units are primarily used in many nations like India to calculate the area of land.

Convert square feet to square yards:

A simple formula to convert square feet to square yards is to divide the area value by 9. For example, if you want to convert 36 square feet to square yards, you must divide 36 by 9. So the answer will be 4 square yards.
