To convert 170 yards into feet we have to multiply 170 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

170 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 170 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 510 ft

The final result is:

170 yd → 510 ft

We conclude that 170 yards is equivalent to 510 feet:

170 yards = 510 feet
