2 square miles is a square with sides of 2 miles. 2 miles squared might be the same thing. But I would need some context. There might not even be a difference.

Im going to say that two miles squared is 4 miles, and that 2 square miles is an area of a square with the sides equal to 2 miles long each.

no difference,if the 2 miles squared is starting off with 2 linear miles,and then squaring them,then it's the same as 2 square miles.because 2 square miles is 2 miles in a straight line then at a right angle is another 2 miles.

2 miles squared can be looked uponb as the instruction for calculating the total area of the square which is 2 miles by 2 miles. In this case the area arrived at is 4 square miles. 2 square miles is the area but could be made up of any number of shapes, such as 1 mile by 2 miles (2x1 = 2 square miles)

Well, If you count, or think a bit, you'll see that 10 miles square is actually 100 square miles, ten times as much as 10 square miles. Words like "square" and "squared" can be tricky, which is why in math we use symbols rather than words, so we can make it clear exactly what we mean. If you've seen how we write "squared numbers" in math, this can be written as (10 miles)2 = 100 (miles ) (10 miles) squared = 100 (square miles) _2

Source: I saw it as (2 mi)^2 - 2 mi^2 = 4 mi^2 - 2 mi^2 = 2 mi^2
I then just put the answer back in the original format which was '2 square miles'.
OP - thanks for being consistent in the format of your answer. It drives me crazy when units or abbreviations used in the question are not consistent with the units/abb. in the posted answer.

I'm not sure whether there's a difference between the two but....

Source: I'm not sure whether there's a difference between "ten miles square"
and "ten miles squared," but if this is a mile:
+---+
then this is a "one mile square," a square one mile on each side whose
area is called one square mile:
******this is suppose to be a square but the lines shaped like an L don't want to stay seperated. they go under the + signs on each row. so move them over. it should be a bunch of squares in the bigger ones below.*******

and this is ten square miles:

But "ten miles square" (or "ten miles squared") means we make a square
ten miles on a side:

They can't be subtracted as one is a distance and the other is an area. 2 miles squared is 4 miles which is a distance. 2 sqaure miles is an area equivalent to two square miles.

It depends on where the parenthesis would go in the algebraic form. (2 miles)^2 is 4 miles^2, or 4 sqare miles, but 2 (miles)^2 is 2 square miles.

2miles squared = a distance of 4 miles; 2 square miles = a square with sides of length square root 2.
