Square Meter → Square Yard — metric to imperial
Core idea
Convert square meters to square yards using 1 m² = 1.196 yd².
How it works
Formula: Square yards = Square meters × 1.196.
- Enter m²
- Multiply by 1.196
- UI rounds; internal math uses precise 1.1959900463
Sanity checks
- 10 m² → 11.96 yd²
- 25 m² → 29.90 yd²
- 100 m² → 119.6 yd²
Shortcuts
- Quick mental: ×1.2 ≈ close estimate
- Back‑convert: m² = yd² ÷ 1.196
Pitfalls
- Using 1.2 for final results
- Rounding early in multi‑step calcs
Micro‑examples
- 30 m² → 35.88 yd²
- 60 m² → 71.76 yd²
- 150 m² → 179.4 yd²
Mini‑FAQ
- Exact constant? 1.1959900463; display 1.196
- Precision to use? 1–2 decimals for listings; more for engineering
- Region note? yd² used mainly in US/UK contexts
Action tip
Share both m² and yd² in specs when collaborating across regions.
