What is a Square Inch?
A square inch is the area of a square one inch on a side. You rarely meet it measuring a surface for its own sake; its real career is as a denominator. Pounds per square inch — psi — is how tyre pressure, hydraulics, air compressors and boiler ratings are quoted throughout the United States and, for tyres at least, in much of the metric world too. It also turns up in machining and materials work, where the load a bolt or a beam will take is naturally expressed per square inch of cross-section rather than in total.
What is a Square Yard?
A square yard is the area of a square one yard — three feet — on a side. It survives mainly in trades that sell material off a roll or by the truckload: carpet and flooring in the US and UK were traditionally priced by the square yard, and landscaping supplies still are sold in yards. Its more important role is structural rather than commercial. The acre is defined as an exact whole number of square yards, so the entire imperial system of land measurement is built on this unit rather than on the square foot most people actually quote.
To put both in perspective: a credit card is a little over 7 square inches, while a square yard is about the floor space one person stands in comfortably.
