Yards to Centimeters
The yard is a base imperial unit equal to exactly 3 feet. The centimeter is a base metric unit representing one-hundredth of a meter. To cross from the imperial yard into metric centimeters, you must calculate exactly how many centimeters fit into a 36-inch length. Since one inch is 2.54 centimeters, a single yard equals exactly 91.44 centimeters. To find out how many centimeters make up a specific yardage, multiply your yard reading by 91.44.
