Given:
16 square meters
Solution:
The square meter and the square yards conversion is:
![1 \ m^{2}=1.19599 \ (y d)^{2}](/tpl/images/0287/9552/bd403.png)
The “square meter” is the unit of the area which is equal to the square with the one meter as its side.
The “square yard” is also a unit of area which is equal to the square with the one yard as its side.
Now, from the question,
![\Rightarrow 16 \times 1 \ m^{2}=16 \times 1.19599 \ (y d)^{2}](/tpl/images/0287/9552/f7bb0.png)
![\therefore 16 \ m^{2}=19.13584 \ (y d)^{2}](/tpl/images/0287/9552/15e4e.png)
