How to convert yards to millimeters
Any physical quantity can be written as:
Q = nu , where n= numerical value and u = unit used
We know that:
1 yd = 914.4 mm
1 mm = 0.0.00109361 yd
So, you can easily convert your quantity in yards to mm by simply multiply it by 914.4
Hence, general formula to convert yards to mm:
p(mm) = 914.4 × p(yd), where p is the numerical value
For example:
Convert 25 yards to mm
25 yd = 25 × 914.4 mm = 22860 mm
About Yard (yd)
Name of unit: Yard
Abbreviation: yd
Unit system: Imperial System
Definition: Yard is the unit of length used in both British Imperial (BI) and US Customary (USC) systems of measurements. One yard represent 3 feet or 1/1760 inches or 36 inches. Yard, inch, foot and mile are US Customary units of length. In Metric system, one yard is equal to 0.9144 m or 91.44 cm.
Uses of yard: Yard is the average unit length of the foot and the mile. So, Yard is used to measure the length, distance and height of those objects whose size larger than the foot and smaller than the mile like football field, small path etc . Yard is also used in another various fields like construction work, real state, land dimensions measurements etc .
Countries that use yard: Yard is used to measure the length or height of objects in the US Customary system of measurements. So the countries that use the inch as the unit of length are Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Liberia and Myanmar.
About Millimetre (mm)
Name of unit: Millimetre
Abbreviation: mm
Unit system: metric system
Definition: Millimetre is the metric unit of length used to measure the length of very small objects or distances. In SI units, the fundamental unit of length is the metre and 'milli' is the latin word refers to the prefix of the metre which is equal to one thousandth i.e 0.001 ( 1 mm = 1/1000m ). Thus we can say that millimetre is one thousandth of a metre.
Uses of mm: Millimetre is the small unit of length. So , it is used to measure the length of very tiny objects like nib of a pen, a pencil or a needle , thickness of sheet or cloth etc . Miillimetre is also used various fields like physics, chemistry , medicines, mathematics etc for small measurements.
Countries that use CM: Millimetere is the metric unit of length, so it is used by all other countries around the world except the US, Liberia and Myanmar.
