Formula and method

How to Convert Square Yards to Linear Yards

Use the formula below, then check the worked example. The calculator applies the same logic automatically.

Conversion formulaLinear yards = square yards ÷ material width in yards

Area-to-length conversion requires a known material width, so this calculator includes width in yards. This conversion is useful for fabric, carpet and roll materials sold by length at a known width.

Why another dimension matters: square yards measure area, while linear feet or yards measure length. A width or side length is necessary.

Worked example

Square Yards to Linear Yards Example

20 yd² = 20 lin yd.

Calculator defaults are used for any required depth, width, density or regional factor.
