A certain town has an area of 4.36 square miles.What is the area, in square yards, of this town? (1 mile = 1,760 yards)
Correct answer: D. 13,505,536
- A. 404
- B. 7,674
- C. 710,459
- D. 13,505,536
Explanation
The correct answer is 13,505,536 square yards. To find the area of the town in square yards, remember that 1 mile equals 1,760 yards. Therefore, 1 square mile is 1,760 x 1,760 = 3,097,600 square yards. Multiply the area of the town in square miles (4.36) by the number of square yards in a square mile (3,097,600) to get the area in square yards: 4.36 x 3,097,600 = 13,505,536. Other options are incorrect due to misunderstandings of converting linear measurements to square measurements or incorrect arithmetic operations.
