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 to the nearest 0.01 m^2.
40 square yards = 40 * (0.9144)^2 sqaure meters
= 0.83612736 * 40 = 33.4450944
So, 33.45 meters
