Answer 1

Noah Archer

#3291.8 cm#

#1 " yard " = 36 " inches " # in English unit of length. #1 " inch" = 2.54 cm.#

Therefore # 36" yards"= 36xx36 = 1296 " inches"#.

And then

#1296 " inches" = 1296 xx 2.54 = 3291.84 cm#

#3291.84 cm=32.92m#

The blue whale, recorded with a length of 36 yards, would be ( 36 \times 91.44 ) centimeters long, given that 1 yard equals 91.44 centimeters. Therefore, the whale would be ( 36 \times 91.44 ) centimeters long.
