How many kilometres make square kilometres?

In: Math and Arithmetic, Area [Edit categories]

Answer:

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A square kilometre is a measure of area, with dimensions [L²]. A kilometre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.
