What is a square mile?
Exactly 640 acres — one section of the US Public Land Survey, the grid the Midwest is drawn on. 2.59 square kilometres, and the reason a rural address is often "section 12".
What is a square millimetre?
A millionth of a square metre, because the millimetre is a thousandth of a metre and area squares the factor. The working unit of engineering drawings and of cable cross-sections.
How many square millimetres are in a square mile?
One square mile is 2589988110340 square millimetres, exactly. Going the other way, one square millimetre is 3.8610 × 10^-13 square miles. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
