"Acre" is an area, but "mile" is just a distance, so they don't convert. If they could,then you'd be able to go into a hardware store and buy an acre of rope.Now, if you have a square piece of land that's a mile long and a mile wide, the areaof that is one square mile, and there are 640 acres of area in it.
There are 640 acres in a square mile. This is because a square mile is equivalent to 1 mile by 1 mile, and 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet. Multiplying 5280 by 5280 gives you the square footage in a square mile, which is 27,878,400 square feet. Since 1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, dividing the total square footage in a square mile by the square footage in an acre (27,878,400 / 43,560) gives you 640 acres.
An acre is a unit of area, not length. However, if you are referring to a square mile, which is 640 acres.
There is no such thing as a "square acre" an acre is already an area measurement. 1 square mile is 640 acres.
