What is a Square Yard and a Square Millimeter?

The square yard (symbol: yd², sq yd) is an imperial and US customary unit of area. It represents the area of a square with sides that are each one yard (3 feet or 36 inches) long.

The square millimeter (symbol: mm²) is a unit of area in the metric system. It represents the area of a square with sides that are each one millimeter long.

Note: The Square Yard is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Square Millimeter belongs to the metric (SI) system.

History of the Square Yard and Square Millimeter

Derived from the yard, a unit of length with origins possibly related to the human stride or arm span, the square yard became a standard area measurement in the English (and later imperial and US customary) systems. It was traditionally used for measuring textiles and smaller land areas.

Derived from the millimeter (one-thousandth of a meter), the square millimeter arose with the metric system as a unit for measuring extremely small areas, particularly in scientific and technical fields requiring high precision.

Common Uses for square yards and square millimeters

Explore the typical applications for both Square Yard (imperial/US) and Square Millimeter (metric) to understand their common contexts.

Common Uses for square yards

  • Textiles & Flooring (US/UK): Historically and sometimes currently used for selling carpet, fabric, or other materials sold by area.
  • Landscaping & Gardening (US/UK): Used for measuring medium-sized areas like lawns or garden plots, often for calculating quantities of topsoil, sod, or mulch.
  • Construction (less common): Occasionally used for estimating areas for paving or concrete work.
  • Sports: The dimensions of some sports fields (like American football) are specified in yards, leading to area calculations in square yards.

Common Uses for square millimeters

  • Engineering & Manufacturing: Specifying tolerances, cross-sectional areas of fine wires or fibers, surface areas of micro-components.
  • Material Science: Measuring grain sizes, or the area of microscopic features.
  • Electronics: Defining the area of pads or traces on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
  • Optics: Measuring the area of small apertures or sensor elements.
