The answer is ambiguous because of the distinction between a km squared and a square km. The ambiguity arises because

n (km squared) is not the same as (n km) squared [except when n = 0 or 1]

and it is not always clear which of the two is intended.

86300 km squared could be a square with sides of 86300 km and so an area of 86300*86300 square km.

On that basis, 86300 km squared = 7 447 690 000 sq km = 2 875 569 185.16 sq miles.

On the other hand

86300 square km = 33320.62 sq miles
