About these units
Square Yard (yd²)
A square yard equals 9 square feet or 0.836 m². Historically used in the British Empire and still used in the US and UK for certain materials, the square yard appears frequently in carpeting, turf, paving stones, and textiles. Its intermediate size makes it suitable for areas larger than a square foot but smaller than a square meter, giving it usefulness in construction and home improvement. Although square meters have replaced square yards in most official contexts, industries such as carpeting, sports field design, and gardening continue to use this practical measure.
Cuerda (cuerda)
The cuerda is a traditional land unit used primarily in Puerto Rico, where it is legally defined as 3,930.395625 square meters—slightly smaller than a hectare and slightly larger than an acre. Cuerdas are widely used in real estate transactions, agriculture, and land management throughout the island. Farmland, forest preserves, and rural homesteads are typically measured in cuerdas rather than square meters or acreage. The cuerda's historical roots likely tie back to Spanish colonial surveying practices, but unlike many colonial units, the cuerda has been standardized, stabilized, and legally maintained well into the modern era. Its continued use reflects cultural identity as much as practicality; Puerto Ricans often conceptualize land parcels in cuerdas, making it a central part of the island's land-economy vocabulary.
