Glad you asked...
To figure out square yards, you first need to figure out the measurement in square feet. Then divide by 9. For example, if the measurement of a piece of carpet is 12 feet by 8 feet, then the area is 96 square feet. There are 3 feet in each yard so 9 square feet in each square yard. 96/9=10.66 square yards.
