About these units
Cent (India) (cent)
435.6 square feet (40.47 m²), one hundredth of an acre. Used for land in southern India, including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; Bangladesh and West Bengal call it a decimal.
Real estate advertisements in Kerala and Tamil Nadu often price plots by the cent, a name that here means one hundredth of an acre and has no connection with money. The area works out to 435.6 square feet, 48.4 square yards or about 40.47 square metres, so a typical house plot of five or ten cents is quite small by comparison with an acre.
Because the cent is defined directly from the acre, it carries no local variation in size, unlike many older Indian land units. What varies is where it is used. Wikipedia lists parts of southern India, including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, where it still appears in property deals and news reports. In West Bengal and Bangladesh the same one-hundredth of an acre is called a decimal.
The cent sits beside other decimal-style subdivisions of the acre. Elsewhere in India land is counted in gunthas (40 to an acre), and in Pakistan and the north in marlas and kanals (160 and 8 to an acre). A cent is a little under half the size of a guntha, which is about 101 square metres.
1 cent (India) = 40.46856422 square meters (approximately).

Square Mile (mi²)
640 acres or about 2.59 km². Used for the area of cities, states and countries in the US and UK.
A thousand Roman paces, mille passus, became the mile, and under Elizabeth I Parliament fixed the statute mile at eight furlongs, or 5,280 feet, in place of the older Roman-based value. The square mile inherits that length. Its most famous use came in the United States: the Land Ordinance of 1785 started the Public Land Survey System so that western land could be surveyed and sold to pay war debts, beginning with the Seven Ranges in eastern Ohio.
In that system a section is roughly one square mile, or 640 acres, and a township is 36 sections in a square six miles on a side. One square mile is nearly 2.59 million square meters. Chicago's Midway International Airport, at about 650 acres, covers roughly 1.02 square miles. Beware the phrase mile square: a region 20 miles square has 400 square miles, but so does a rectangle 10 by 40 miles. The US survey version of the mile was retired from 1 January 2023, but the international square mile remains the unit for cities, states and countries in the US and UK.
1 square mile = 2,589,988.11 square meters (approximately).
