The question has no sensible answer, since the length depends on the shape of the area.

The most compact shape is a circle and one with a diameter of approx 5.53 miles would enclose an area of 24 square miles.

Suppose the shape were a rectangle. Pick any length, L, greater than 4.9 miles and let B = 24/L

Then the rectangle that is L*B will have an are of L*B = L*(24/L) = 24 sq miles.

Now L could be 5 miles, 50 miles, 5 quadrillion miles or more!

And the shape need not be a circle or rectangle. It could be any polygon or even some random shape.

If you want a straight answer you will have to ask a better structured question.
