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.
Section (section)
A section is a unit of area equal to one square mile, or 640 acres, derived from the PLSS township system. Each township contains 36 sections arranged in a 6-by-6 grid. Sections were historically granted to settlers, railroads, and states for development, education funding, and agricultural expansion. Because a section is large but manageable, it provided a logical unit for dividing land among homesteaders. Even today, the section persists as a foundation of rural property boundaries. Many farms, ranches, and municipal boundaries reference section lines, reflecting how 19th-century surveying still shapes 21st-century land use.
