This problem is trying to trip you up converting between yards and feet
1 yard = 3 feet
1 square yard = 9 square feet
You can either convert first using the yards to feet conversion or convert after using the square yards to square feet conversion
Converting first:
43*3*112*3=43344
Converting afterward:
43*112=4816
Convert from square yards to square feet
4816*9=43344 square feet
