The square mile (mi²) measures large territories like cities and counties. New York City covers 302.6 mi², while London spans approximately 607 mi². This unit is used in urban planning, geography, and environmental management. The hectare (10,000 m²) is the standard unit for measuring agricultural land and large properties. A soccer/football field is about 0.7 hectares, while a small farm might be 5-10 hectares. This unit is crucial for forestry, urban planning, and real estate development.
To convert between Square Mile (mi²) and Hectare (ha), use the following formulas:
1 Square Mile (mi²) = 258.9988 Hectare (ha)
1 Hectare (ha) = 0.0038610217499077215 Square Mile (mi²)
1 mi² = 1 * 258.9988 ha = 258.9988 ha
5 mi² = 5 * 258.9988 ha = 1294.9940000000001 ha
10 mi² = 10 * 258.9988 ha = 2589.9880000000003 ha
100 mi² = 100 * 258.9988 ha = 25899.88 ha
