Yards to feet
1 yard = 3 feet
Type a value in yards (yd) to get feet (ft) straight away. A yard is larger than a foot, so the number goes up. Both units belong to length, measured here against the meter.
1 yd = 3 ft
Formula
ft = yd × 3
One yard is 3 feet, so multiply the yard value by that factor. Here yd is the value in yards and ft is the result in feet.
Worked example: 100 yards × 3 = 300 feet.
