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 8700 yards into feet we have to multiply 8700 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

8700 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 8700 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 26100 ft

The final result is:

8700 yd → 26100 ft

We conclude that 8700 yards is equivalent to 26100 feet:

8700 yards = 26100 feet
