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.
There are no "square yards" in a mile, since a mile is a measure of distance (i.e it is a one-dimensional length), whereas a "square yard" is a measure of area (so is two dimensional, width x length). They are not comparable units; it is the same as asking "how many squares fit along this line?".
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.
There are 640 acres in 1 square mile. So (1/2 mile)*(1/4 mile) = 1/8 square mile, or:(1/8 square mile)*(640 acre/square mile) = 80 acres
There are 2,589,988.11 square meters in 1 square mile
One Square Mile, it's the same everywhere.
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.
A square mile is equivalent to 640 acres or 2.59 square kilometers. It is a unit of area that measures one mile by one mile, totaling 4,014,489 square meters.
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.
Yes. It has an area of 1 square mile; that's the same as 640 acres. A square that measures 6 miles on a side and has 36 of these 1-mile squares in it is a "township".
Square miles is bigger than miles square. Square miles refers to an area that is one mile by one mile, totaling one square mile. Miles square refers to an arrangement of miles in a square shape, which is not a standard unit of measurement.

10% of a square mile = 0.10 * a square mile
No. A square has four equilateral sides and a pentagon has five sides.

there isn't a difference its the same thing just said differently
A mile is the length of a line, square miles are the measure of area, typically of a square or rectangle
