Yes, A yard is what you play in, front or back, or it can be the area where prisoners gather.
A meter is a device used to charge people for services -- parking, electric, etc.
meter was intended to equal 10-7 or one ten-millionth of the length of the meridian through Paris from pole to the equator. However, the first prototype was short by 0.2 millimeters because researchers miscalculated the flattening of the earth due to its rotation. Still this length became the standard

Of course; a yard is 3 feet or 36 inches. A metre is based on the metric system and is 39.37 inches. For all practical purposes, if you add 10% to a distant in metres you will get an approximate distance in yards e.g. 10 metres is a approx. 11 yards (10.936 to be precise).
