About Square Yards
A square yard (yd²) is an imperial unit of area equal to a square with sides of one yard (3 ft × 3 ft or 9 ft²). It is commonly used for measuring carpet, fabric, and concrete in construction projects. A queen-size mattress covers about 5 yd², and a typical driveway might require 30-50 yd² of concrete. This unit is particularly common in the textile, carpeting, and landscaping industries in imperial-system countries.
About Feddan
A feddan (فدان) is the primary unit of land area in Egypt, Sudan, and parts of the Arab world, equal to approximately 4,200 m² (1.038 acres or 0.42 hectares). Its name derives from the Arabic word for 'yoke of oxen,' reflecting its agricultural origins - similar to the British acre. Egypt reports its cultivated farmland in millions of feddan; the fertile Nile Delta that feeds Egypt is measured in feddan. The feddan is subdivided into 24 kirats (each ~175 m²). It remains the legal standard for agricultural land registration in Egypt and Sudan.
