How to Convert Yard to Foot
- 1 yd = 3 ft
- 1 ft = 0.3333333333 yd
- Example: convert 15 yd to ft: 15 yd = 15 × 3 ft = 45 ft
Reference conditions. yd: The international yard and pound agreement (1959) fixed 1 yard = 0.9144 m exactly, so the inch, foot and mile are exact. ft: The international yard and pound agreement (1959) fixed 1 yard = 0.9144 m exactly, so the inch, foot and mile are exact.
Formula
ft = yd × 3
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 yd = 3 ft = 0.9144 m (exact)
- 1 ft = 12 in = 0.3048 m (exact)
- 1 yd = 0.9144 m ÷ 0.3048 m per ft = 3 ft
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Yard definition: yard; Foot definition: foot.
Worked examples
- A reading of 10 yd converts to 30 ft.
10 yd × 3 = 30 ft - A value of 200 yd is 600 ft.
200 yd × 3 = 600 ft
