In "gridiron" football (i.e., the varieties played mainly in Canada and US), a team in possession of the football must advance the ball ten yards in order to retain possession of the ball. That team is allowed a certain number of attempts to do so. In football parlance, those attempts are called "downs." In the game as played in the US, a team is allowed four downs in which to advance the ball ten yards. In Canadian football, a team gets only three downs.
"Second down" means that the team has already made one attempt to advance the ball (and was able to advance it five yards). Now it is about to make the second attempt. "Second down and five yards to go" (which is usually shortened to "second and five") means that the team now must advance five more yards. If that team does gain an additional five or more yards, it is awarded another set of downs.
5 yards and a first down for Dante Hall ? Devin Hester?
5 Yards
10 yards for offensive holding, 5 yards and an automatic first down for defensive holding.

You need to count and make sure there aren't to many players on the field. Also, you have to go 10 yards to get a first down; So if you are on a third down and 5 yards to go for a first down you would know you have 2 more chances to go 5 more yards.
If you mean how do you calculate the square yardage of an area, you multiply the length by the width. If an area is 5 yards long and 5 yards wide, the square yardage is 25 square yards.
5 yards
4 yards = 12 feet which is smaller than 13 feet
5 miles is equal to 8,800 yards.
