Square Yards for Flooring and Turf
Rooms are measured in feet, so find the square feet and divide by 9. A 12 by 12 foot room is 144 square feet, which is 16 square yards. A price per square yard divides by 9 for the price per square foot. The Square Footage Calculator for Carpet and Rugs measures rooms for carpet, and the Sod Calculator sizes a turf order.
Gaj and the Square Yard
In North Indian and Pakistani property listings, gaj is used as another name for the square yard, so a 200 gaj plot is 200 square yards, 1,800 square feet. Some converters show 0.99 square yards per gaj, a figure that comes from rounding the yard to 0.91 meters. A price per gaj is a price per square yard, and the Price per Square Foot Calculator works with it once divided by 9.
