Yards to Meters Converter

The yard is an English unit of length equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. Since 1959 it has been standardized by an international agreement. The distance is equal to 1 mile. The yard in the US is slightly longer.

The base unit of length in the International System of Units is the metre. The SI unit symbol is m. The Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km, which is one tenth of a millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. The actual bar used for the redefined metre was changed in 1889. The metre was redefined in 1960 in terms of the wavelength of the emission line. The definition was changed in 2002 to clarify that the metre is a measure of proper length.

Simple steps to use this converter:
- Use the top drop down menu under Unit Converter to choose the category of the type of calculator ranging from length, area, math, volume to voltage, power, and many more.
- Choose the desired unit to convert from in the left black drop down bar and type in the number to convert.
- Then choose the unit to convert to in the right black drop down bar and type in the number to convert.

It is easier to understand the conversion of yd to m by looking at a step by step example.
- Multiply by the conversion factor of 1 yd = 0.9144 m.
- So 10 yd in m would be 10 yd x 0.9144 = 9.144 m

The first measurement of the standard metre with an interferometer was done in 1893 by Albert A.Michelson, the inventor of the device. Interferometry was used frequently at the BIPM by 1925.

A standard metric unit is 3 feet 3 inches. The metric system of measurement includes a meter. Guitars, baseball bats, and yard sticks are objects that are about one meter long.

274.32 m. Follow these steps to obtain the similar value:

Multiply 300 yards by the base conversion rate of 0.9144 to get meters

300 yd x 0.9144 = 274.32 m

2.7432 m. Follow these steps to obtain the similar value:

Multiply 3 yards by the base conversion rate of 0.9144 to get meters

3 yd x 0.9144 = 2.7432 m

13.1234 yd. Follow these steps to obtain the similar value:

Multiply 12 meters by the base conversion rate of 1.0936 to get yards

12 m x 1.0936 = 13.1234 yd

22.86 m. Follow these steps to obtain the similar value:

Multiply 25 yards by the base conversion rate of 0.9144 to get meters

25 yd x 0.9144 = 22.86 m

91.44 m. Follow these steps to obtain the similar value:

Multiply 100 yards by the base conversion rate of 0.9144 to get meters

100 yd x 0.9144 = 91.44 m

0.9144 m. You can calculate by:

1 yard is equivalent to 0.9144 meters

1 yd x 0.9144 = 0.9144 m

1.0936 yd. You can calculate by:

1 meter is equivalent to 1.0936 yards

1 m x 1.0936 = 1.0936 yd
