Miles measures distance. Square miles measures area. Therefore, you can not compare the two. It is like comparing feet and cups.

Hi there, square miles and miles are not really the same thing. Miles are a measure of distance while square miles are a measure of area. To answer your question though, for any rectangular piece of land, you can measure the distance/length of two sides in miles (start from any one corner) then multiply these two numbers together to get the total square miles in area. So: 20 miles x 30 miles = 600 square miles Or: 10 miles x 60 miles = 600 square miles etc... Regards, Peter.
A mile is a unit of distance. A square mile is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
33.5 miles is a measurement of distance, not area, so it cannot be directly converted to square miles. To calculate the area in square miles, you would need additional information such as the width of the area being measured.
Ten square miles refers to an area that is 10 miles by 10 miles, totaling 100 square miles. On the other hand, ten miles square refers to a square area with each side measuring 10 miles, so the total area covered is 100 square miles as well. Both terms refer to the same area size, but just describe it in a different way.
not possible to convert area unit to length unit unless knowing the geometry For example if the geometry is square with perimeter 12 miles. Then, the square side is 3 miles and the area is 9 square miles.
