Yards to Meters Converter

Convert yards to meters, with the same length in feet, inches and centimeters.

What this tool does

Convert yards to meters, with the same length in feet, inches and centimeters. Type an amount in yards, choose the units, and the tool converts it to meters. It offers 5 length units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Yard, Meter, Foot, Inch, Centimeter. Starts as Yard.
  • To: Choose one of the same 5 units as "From". Starts as Meter.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from yards to meters:

  • 1 yd = 0.9144 m
  • 5 yd = 4.572 m
  • 10 yd = 9.144 m
  • 50 yd = 45.72 m
  • 100 yd = 91.44 m

Multiply the number of yards by 0.9144 to get meters. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.9144 is the exact factor: 1 yd = 0.9144 m.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a length only. It does not work out a length from other measurements.
  • Uses international inches, feet and yards, which are defined exactly in metric units.
