How many square kilometers are in one square mile?

Answer 1

None, since there can be no conversion. A mile is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a square kilometre is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different characteristics and, according to the most basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at comparisons or conversions between the two are fundamentally flawed.

Answer 2

AnswerNone, square feet measure area and miles measure distance. AnswerOne mile is not direct enough, a mile alone would be a straight line, therefor there is no way you could put SQUARE feet in it.

There is 5280 feet in a mile.

That probably is the best anyone could do, sorry if that does not answer your question.

A lane mile is 5280 by approximately 8 feet wide so 5280 X 8 = 42240 Sq feet

Answer 3

one square mile = 2.58998811 square kilometer

Answer 4

That's not a valid question. A mile measures length, a square mile measures area. Please determine what you're trying to measure and post a new question.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

0.386102 square mile per square kilometer.

Answer 7

A square mile is a unit of area. A mile is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.

Answer 8

Answer: 1 mi² = 2.58998 km²
