In measuring the external surface of a building, the builder uses SI units and the contractor only reads English units. At the end of the work, the contractor receives a document in which he says that the surface of the property is 18887 m2, so he asks that they make the conversion to units that he can understand, for example yards2. If it is known that 1 m = 10936 yards, what was the measurement that the contractor finally received? a) 22588.1147 Yards b) 20654.8232 Yards c) 17270.4828 Yards d) 15792.3215 Yards?
