How many meters are there in a square mile?
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?".
What is the length and width of 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.
