I need 40 square yards of cloth to make curtains for my room. Unfortunately, the store only sells cloth in square meters. If there are 0.9144 meters in each yard, how many square meters of cloth must I buy?

Answer:

  • ≈ 33.445 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to convert square yards to square meters:

  • 1 yd = 0.9144 m
  • 1 yd² = (0.9144)² m² ≈ 0.8361 m²

Multiply this by 40 to get the amount you need:

  • 40*0.8361 m² ≈ 33.445 m²

We know

  • 0.9144m=1yd

1squareyard=

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 1yd^2=(0.9144)^2=0.83612m^2[/tex]

Now

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 40yd^2=40(0.83612)=33.4448m^2[/tex]
