Solution

To convert the area from square miles to square yards, you need to know that 1 mile is equal to 1,760 yards.

Step 1: Convert miles to yards. Since 1 mile = 1,760 yards, then 4.36 miles = 4.36 * 1,760 yards = 7,673.6 yards.

Step 2: Convert the area from square miles to square yards. Since the area is a square, you need to square the number of yards. So, 7,673.6 yards * 7,673.6 yards = 58,896,089.96 square yards.

However, none of the options match this result. There seems to be a mistake in the question or the options provided.

But if we consider that the conversion from square miles to square yards is not just squaring the number of yards in a mile (which is 1,760 yards) but rather squaring that number (which gives us 3,097,600 square yards), then we can proceed as follows:

Step 1: Convert the area from square miles to square yards using the conversion factor. So, 4.36 square miles = 4.36 * 3,097,600 square yards = 13,505,536 square yards.

So, the correct answer is D) 13,505,536 square yards.
