The surface area of a solid is 4500 square inches. Is the surface area greater than 3 square yards?

To determine if 4500 square inches is greater than 3 square yards, we first need to convert square yards into square inches.

1 yard = 36 inches, so:

\[
1 \text{ square yard} = 36 \times 36 = 1296 \text{ square inches}
\]

Now, multiply by 3 to find the area in 3 square yards:

\[
3 \text{ square yards} = 3 \times 1296 = 3888 \text{ square inches}
\]

Now, compare the two areas:

\[
4500 \text{ square inches} > 3888 \text{ square inches}
\]

Therefore, the surface area of 4500 square inches is **greater** than 3 square yards.
