About Square miles and Square yards
Square miles (mi²): One mile squared, or 2.59 km²; the standard US unit for large land areas. Common uses: City and county area, state and national park sizes, watersheds, and large geographic features in the US.
Square yards (yd²): Nine square feet, or 0.836 m²; less commonly used than square feet but still appears in landscaping and some flooring. Common uses: Carpet and large-area flooring sales, athletic fields (football, soccer field dimensions), and some landscaping contexts.
How the conversion works
