how far is a yard

A yard is 36 inches (three feet) long, and it equals 0.9144 meters in the international standard. A quick reference: 1 yard is exactly 3 feet, so 100 yards would be 300 feet, and 1 mile is 1,760 yards. If you’d like, I can tailor explanations or provide quick conversion tips for different scenarios (e.g., building projects, sports fields, fabric measurements).
