Is 36 square feet equivalent to four square yards? How do I figure it?

The square root of 36 is 6.

The square root of 4 is 2.

There are 2 yards in 6 feet -- so you're right -- 36 square feet = 4 square yards.

One square foot = 12 inches x 12 inches, which is 144 inches.

Then, 36 square feet x 144 inches = 5184 inches.

=============================

One square yard = 3 feet x 3 feet

One foot = 12 inches.

12 inches x 3 feet = 36 inches.

Then 36 inches x 36 inches = 1296 inches.

1296 inches x 4 = 5184 inches

Yes, they both = 5184 inches

So, the answer to your question is yes.

36 square feet = 4 square yards.

Done!

To determine if 36 square feet is equivalent to four square yards, we need to compare the two units of measurement.

First, let's understand the relationship between square feet and square yards.

1 square yard is equal to 9 square feet.

To find out if 36 square feet is equal to four square yards, we'll apply this conversion factor.

Now, let's calculate the conversion:

1 square yard = 9 square feet

To find out the number of square yards in 36 square feet, divide 36 by 9:

36 square feet / 9 square feet = 4 square yards

So, yes, 36 square feet is indeed equivalent to four square yards.

To summarize, here's how you figure it out:

1. Recognize that 1 square yard is equal to 9 square feet.
2. Divide the number of square feet by 9 to convert it to square yards.
3. If the result is a whole number, then it is equivalent to the corresponding number of square yards.
