  2. Square mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_mile

    Square miles should not be confused with miles square, a square region with each side having a length of the value given. For example, a region which is 20 miles square (20 miles × 20 miles) has an area of 400 sq mi; a rectangle of measuring 10 miles × 40 miles also has an area of 400 sq mi, but is not 20 miles square.

  3. Circular mil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mil

    The conversion factor from square mils to circular mils is therefore 4/ π cmil per square mil: 4 π c m i l m i l 2 . {\displaystyle {\rm {{\frac {4}{\pi }}{\frac {cmil}{mil^{2}}}.}}} The formula for the area of an arbitrary circle in circular mils can be derived by applying this conversion factor to the standard formula for the area of a ...

    the relationship between square feet and square inches is 1 square foot = 144 square inches, where 144 = 12 2 = 12 × 12. Similarly: 1 square yard = 9 square feet; 1 square mile = 3,097,600 square yards = 27,878,400 square feet; In addition, conversion factors include: 1 square inch = 6.4516 square centimetres; 1 square foot = 0.092 903 04 ...

  5. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

    The square root appearing above can be eliminated for such applications as ordering locations by distance in a database query. On the other hand, some methods for computing nearest neighbors, such as the vantage-point tree , require that the distance metric obey the triangle inequality , in which case the square root must be retained.

  6. Earth's circumference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_circumference

    As one degree is ⁠ 1 / 360 ⁠ of a circle, one minute of arc is ⁠ 1 / 21600 ⁠ of a circle – such that the polar circumference of the Earth would be exactly 21,600 miles. Gunter used Snellius's circumference to define a nautical mile as 6,080 feet, the length of one minute of arc at 48 degrees latitude. [24]

  7. Units of measurement in transportation - Wikipedia

    Volume of traffic, or vehicle miles traveled (VMT), is a predictor of crash incidence. All other things being equal, as VMT increases, so will traffic crashes. The relationship may not be simple, however; after a point, increasing congestion leads to reduced speeds, hanging the proportion of crashes that occur at different severity levels.

  8. Acre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre

    One acre equals 1 ⁄ 640 (0.0015625) square mile, 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet, [2] or about 4,047 square metres (0.4047 hectares) (see below).While all modern variants of the acre contain 4,840 square yards, there are alternative definitions of a yard, so the exact size of an acre depends upon the particular yard on which it is based.

  9. International roughness index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_roughness_index

    The frequency of the suspension response at the golden-car simulation speed also determines the final IRI ride value. The IRI sensitivity is focused on wavelengths between 0.82 and nearly 200-feet (0.25 to 61 meters). Although, if any wavelengths are equal to 7.9 or 50 feet (2.4 or 15.2 meters) the IRI values are weighted higher. [2]
