$3291.8 c m$ $3291.8 cm$

Explanation:

$1 yard = 36 inches$ $1 " yard " = 36 " inches "$ in English unit of length.
$1 inch = 2.54 c m .$ $1 " inch" = 2.54 cm.$

Therefore $36 yards = 36 \times 36 = 1296 inches$ $36" yards"= 36xx36 = 1296 " inches"$ .

And then

$1296 inches = 1296 \times 2.54 = 3291.84 c m$ $1296 " inches" = 1296 xx 2.54 = 3291.84 cm$

$3291.84 c m = 32.92 m$ $3291.84 cm=32.92m$
