What happens here

To measure a regular, rectangular yard, simply multiply the length by the width to get the square footage. For example, a yard that is 10 feet by 20 feet will yield 200 square feet (10 ft * 20 ft = 200 sq ft). Once you have the total square footage, convert it to square yards by dividing by 9 (since 1 square yard equals 9 square feet). So, 200 square feet divided by 9 equals approximately 22 square yards. Sod is typically sold in square yards.

Goal: Calculate sod quantity for a regular-shaped yard

into and in this case best case scenario you have a square yard okay it's perfectly Square I don't know how well you can see it but that's a square that's the best I can draw let's say this yard is 10 by 20 ft okay the formula is 10 * 20 to figure out the area gives you 2 200 square ft okay what you do with that is you have to convert this number over to square yards because that's how side comes is in a square yard so then you take 200 square yards and divide that by n so once you've divided it by 9 that gives you 22 square yards and it's as simple as that but what happens if you don't come into
