Samantha is buying carpet for her family room, which is 8 yards by
13 yards. The carpeting is sold in square meters. How many square meters of carpeting will she need? (Use 1 yd ≈ 0.9144m.)
I am pretty sure 8 and 13 need to be squared and then added together maybe? But I'm not sure where the 0.9144 will come into play?

104x 0.9144 because for every yard you would need 0.9144 metres of carpet. The answer is 95.0976 metres square. Hope this helps.
It is saying the answer is 86.96 sq. meters though
sorry should've included that in the first place. I just don't understand how they got that answer

8 * 0.9144 = 7.3152 meters
13 * 0.9144 = 11.8872
7.3152 * 11.8872 = 86.95724544 = 86.96 sq. meters
13 * 0.9144 = 11.8872
7.3152 * 11.8872 = 86.95724544 = 86.96 sq. meters
