Key Terminology

Square kilometer [km²]: An SI derived unit of area equal to the area of a square with one kilometer sides, used for quantifying large surfaces.
Square mil [mil²]: An imperial-derived unit for very small areas, defined as the area of a square with sides one mil (0.001 inch) long.
Conversion rate: The numerical factor used to convert one unit of measurement to another, here between square kilometers and square mils.

Quick Knowledge Check

What unit does the square kilometer quantify?

Very small surface areas in manufacturing

Large two-dimensional extents like land or water bodies

Cross-sectional area in electrical engineering

What is a common application for the square mil unit?

Measuring the area of national parks

Specifying PCB copper trace dimensions

Calculating population density

Why is the square mil not to be confused with the circular mil?

Because circular mil measures volume, not area

Because circular mil measures the area of a circle of 1 mil diameter, different from square mil

Because circular mil is based on metric system units
