Centimeter Square (abbreviation: cm2): is the SI derived unit of area. It is the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one centimeter. The square centimeter is derived from the SI base unit of the metre, which itself is the length of the path travelled by light in absolute vacuum within time interval of 1/299,792,458 * 1/100 of a second.
Yard Square (abbreviations: yd2, or sy): is an imperial unit of area, formerly used in most of the English-speaking world but now generally replaced by the square metre, however it is still in widespread use in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. It is the area of a square with sides of one yard (three feet, thirty-six inches, 0.9144 metres) in length.
How to Convert Centimeters Square to Yards Square
Example: How many yards square are equivalent to 71.4 centimeters square?
As;
1 centimeters square = 0.00012 yards square
71.4 centimeters square = Y yards square
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 71.4 times 0.00012 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 71.4 * 0.00012 / 1 = 0.008568 yards square
Answer is: 0.008568 yards square are equivalent to 71.4 centimeters square.
