To convert 17 yards into meters we have to multiply 17 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 0.9144 m

17 yd → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 17 yd × 0.9144 m

L_(m) = 15.5448 m

The final result is:

17 yd → 15.5448 m

We conclude that 17 yards is equivalent to 15.5448 meters:

17 yards = 15.5448 meters
