Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to feet is 3, which means that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet:

1 yd = 3 ft

To convert 12.9 yards into feet we have to multiply 12.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to feet. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 3 ft

12.9 yd → L_(ft)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in feet:

L_(ft) = 12.9 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 38.7 ft

The final result is:

12.9 yd → 38.7 ft

We conclude that 12.9 yards is equivalent to 38.7 feet:

12.9 yards = 38.7 feet
