a square mile
A square mile is an area measurement, not a specific shape. They could be just about anything, as long as they multiply together to make one square mile. 1 mile by 1 mile is a square mile. Two miles by half a mile is a square mile. 1 foot by 5280 miles is a square mile. This means that 8 square miles can be 2 miles by 4 miles or 1 mile by 8 miles.
A mile squared is a mile long and a mile wide, forming a square, so if you walked the width or the length of a squared, you would walk a mile. A mile is a linear measurement, it measures a distance. A square mile, as with a square kilometre, is an area and measures the amount of ground something covers. You cannot change miles to square miles or vice versa.
A square mile is the area of a square with one mile along each edge. It is equal to 640 acres."The square mile" is the nickname given to the City of London (UK) as it is roughly a square mile in size; it has also been given as a nickname of the banking district of London as the major investment banks were sited there.
A square mile is an area, the simplest shape is a square with all sides 1 mile, but it can be any shape. The mile is the same in other countries such as the UK. A US mile is 1760 yards long, so a US square mile equals 3,097,600 square yards. A US mile converts to metric as 1,609.34 meters, so a US square mile equals 2,589,975 square meters, or approximately 2.6 square kilometers.Prior to the 13th century, a mile (Roman mile) was considered to be a thousand average-sized(3') double paces, or 6000 feet.
No. They are different. A square mile is two dimensional and a cubic mile is three dimensional. A square mile is length times width, and a cubic mile is length times width times height.
No, square miles are a measure of area, while miles are a measure of distance. A square mile is equivalent to one mile wide and one mile long, so in terms of distance, one mile is longer than one square mile.
A square mile is a unit of area. If we have a square with each side one mile long, the square covers one square mile. A mile is a unit of length. Length has only one dimension while area is two dimensions.

The area doesn't tell you the perimeter.-- If the square mile is inside a circle, then the perimeter (circumference) is 3.545 miles.-- If the square mile is inside a square, then the perimeter is 4.000 miles.-- If the square mile is inside rectangle that's 2 miles long and 1/2 mile wide,then the perimeter is 5.000 miles.-- If the square mile is inside a rectangle that's 10 miles long and 0.1 mile wide,then the perimeter is 20.2 miles...etc.The area doesn't tell you the perimeter.
