One acre is equivalent to 43,560 square feet. If an acre is also equivalent to 4,840 square yards, how many square feet are equal to one square yard?

Verified Answer :

You don't need the acre conversions for this. You know that three feet = one yard, expressed as \(3f=y\). If you square this (one square foot is literally one foot squared, the same goes for yards), then \((3f)^{2} = y^{2}\), which means \(9 (f^{2})= y^{2}\), so there are nine square feet in a square yard.
