Given that the side of the square is 1.6 yards.

The area of the square is


A=a^2

Substitute a=1.6, we get


A=1.6^2=2.56yards^2

We need to convert yards to inches.

We know that


1\text{ yard =36 inches}

Taking square on both sides, we get


1^2yard^2=36^2inches^2


1yard^2=1296inches^2

Multiplying by 2.56 on both sides, we get


1*2.56yard^2=1296*2.56inches^2


2.56yards^2=3317.76inches^2

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get


2.56yards^2=3317.8inches^2

Hence the area of the given square is 3317.8 square inches.
