To convert 59 square yards (yd²) to square meters (m²), we first need to use the conversion factor for linear measurements (1 yard = 0.9144 meters). However, since we are working with square yards, we need to square this conversion factor.

Steps:

1. Square the conversion factor: $1 \, \text{yd}^2 = (1 \, \text{yard})^2 = (0.9144 \, \text{m})^2 = 0.9144^2 \, \text{m}^2$ $0.9144^2 = 0.8361 \, \text{m}^2/\text{yd}^2$

2. Convert 59 yd² to m²: $59 \, \text{yd}^2 \times 0.8361 \, \text{m}^2/\text{yd}^2 = 49.3 \, \text{m}^2$

Thus, 59 square yards is approximately 49.3 square meters.
