How can there only be three feet in a yard, when there are 6 people standing in my yard as we speak?

Wouldn't that technically be 12 feet ON a yard?

Defence seperates my yard from my neighbor's.

If people pave their whole back yards, water has no where to drain off to.  It wouldn't be able to be absorbed into the grass.  Also, I think the sun reflecting off the concrete is heating up our cities a degree or two.

there is one ninth of a square yard in a square foot.

Unfortunately, you did not.\n\nYou have to make sure that all your units are correct.  You mixed feet, inches and yards.\n\n20 ft x 15 ft x 6 in \n\n6 inches = .5 ft.\n\nSo, you get: 20 ft x 15 ft x .5 ft = 150 ft^3\n\n150 cubic feet = 50 cubic yards.\n\nRegards,\n\nMysstere

Divide the right angle into three equal parts, or three 30-degree angles.\n\nSounds like homework to me (which, hey, I'm cool with!), as if you owned this parcel this is NOT the way you'd want to divide it for real -- you wouldn't want three neighbors all bunched up like that at the confluence of the former right angle.\n\n.

ok...realize there are 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard\n\nso 1 yard * 3 feet/yard = 3feet\nso 3feet * 12 in/foot = 36 inches\n\npretty cool right!!\n\nhope this helped\n\nmatttlocke

Acre is a measurement of area; therefore it is calculated by multiplying length with breadth. Thus, the word square will always be used. Such as square meter, square yards square inches and square kilometers etc.\nWhile calculating an area of a given place elevation is not taken in account. \nNow, the following table will help you to understand The ACRE you have in mind.\ni) 144 inches = 1 square foot= 12inches multiplied by 12 inches.\nii) 9 square feet = 1 square yard = 3feet multiplied by 3feet. (3feet = 1yard).\niii) 4840 square yards = 1 Acre.Since acre it self is an area measurement only; the word squre is not used

write the fraction you need \n\nhow many feet in two miles......\nmiles on one side of eq ..... feet on other ....\nso use conversion that has feet in numerator\n2 (miles)  *    (5280 feet) / mile  .......  the miles cancel and you're left with 2 * 5280 feet \n\n\nhow many feet in 6 yards .....  ( conversiion has feet in numerator)\n6 yds  =  (3 feet) / yard   .....  yards cancel and you're left w/ \n6 * 3  feet

If you say aroung so many in.ft,yds. you are just guessing the size. As in that man is around 6 feet tall. The man may only be about 5'10". So you are rounding the number of to the next highest.

If you look really quick, they are in your back yard.\nOh! Just missed them...

This question really sound silly but using one's logic and with the aid of the table of conversion I came to this solution...or shall i say my conclusion. 3ft= 1 yard   therefore if i'm going to buy a yard of meat then the butcher will give me three lower limbs or three feet of meat ( pork, beef, or whatever that has feet).

Similar triangles:\n\nLet's put all the units in inches first, so 57 ft 7.75 inches is:\n57 * 12 + 7.75 = 691.75 inches\n\n36 inch yard stick casts a 42.5 inch shadow\nx inches building casts a 691.75 inch shadow\n\n36 / 42.5 = x / 691.75\n\nCross multiply:\n42.5 x = 691.75 * 36\nx = (691.75 * 36) / 42.5\nx = 585.952941 inches\n\nDividing by 12, you get 48, with a remainder.\n48 ft = 576 inches, remainder 9.952941 inches\n\nSo all together your building is 48 feet 9.95 inches, or approximately 48 ft. 10 inches.

sounds like 16 feet in the yard - unless someone was missing a leg

to convert from cubic feet to yds^3 you need the following\n\na cubic foot is 1ftx1ftx1ft\na cubic yard is 3ftx3ftx3ft = 27 cubic feet\nso 1 cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet\n\n6000/27 = 222.22, if  you need this to purchase dirt or something you have to round up, purchase 223 cubic yards
