To convert between Square Mile (mi²) and Square Kilometer (km²), use the following formulas:
1 Square Mile (mi²) = 2.589988 Square Kilometer (km²)
1 Square Kilometer (km²) = 0.38610217499077215 Square Mile (mi²)
1 mi² = 1 * 2.589988 km² = 2.589988 km²
5 mi² = 5 * 2.589988 km² = 12.94994 km²
10 mi² = 10 * 2.589988 km² = 25.89988 km²
100 mi² = 100 * 2.589988 km² = 258.9988 km²
