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.

Miles measures distance. Square miles measures area. Therefore, you can not compare the two.

One square mile and one mile square are the same, but 10 square miles can be a square about 3.16 miles on a side and 10 miles square is exactly 100 square miles.

A mile is a unit of distance. A square mile is a unit of area, equal to the area of a square 1 mile wide by 1 mile long.

There isn't actually a difference. The word metre is French for mile.
