Question

331/2 square feet is how many yards?

Answer 1

Are you trying to figure out how many yards of mulch or topsoil (or compost or gravel or whatever) you're going to need for 33.5 feet of garden space?  If so, then the answer all depends on how thick you want to spread whatever it is that you're ordering.    The "yards" in question here are *cubic* yards, a three-dimensional measurement, whereas square feet is only a two-dimensional measurement.  So how much you will need depends on how thick a layer you want.

Here's an on-line calculator you can use to figure that out:

Answer 3

There are 9 square feet in every yard; so divide 33 and 1/2 by 9.  The answer is about 3 and 1/3 square yards.

So the length and width of that space could vary.  Imagine each of those square yards as a tile that is one yard by one yard.  You could arrange that in several different ways.  It could be 3 yards long and 1 yard wide; or, if you did it in a perfect square, it would be 5.7 ft. by 5.7 ft.
