It is equal to three feet or 36 inches, or approximately 0.9144 meters. The symbol for "yard" is "yd".The use of the yard dates back to ancient times, and it was originally defined as the length of a man's belt or girdle, as it was a convenient measure for determining cloth lengths. The yard, foot, and inch are traditional units of length that are still in use today. A yard is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. A foot is equal to 12 inches. An inch is equal to 1/12 of a foot or 1/36 of a yard.
