How many yards are in a square mile?

1 Answer

Apr 6, 2016

1 sq mile = 3,097,600 sq yd

Explanation:

You cannot convert between units of length (yard) and units of area (square mile). You can only convert:

units of length:
$1 m i = 1760 y d$ $1 mi=1760 yd$

or

units of area:
$1 m i^{2} = 1 m i \cdot 1 m i = 1760 y d \cdot 1760 y d = 3097600 y d^{2}$ $1 mi^2=1mi*1mi=1760yd*1760yd=3097600 yd^2$
