Square kilometre2, symbol km2, is a decimal multiple of the SI unit of surface area, the square metre, one of the SI derived units. 1 km2 is equal to:
1,000,000 m2
100 ha (hectare)
0.386302 square miles
247.105381 acres
Conversely:
1 m2 = 0.000 001 (10−6) km2
1 hectare = 0.01 (10−2) km2
1 square mile = 2.589988km2
1 acre = 0.004047km2, 0.4047ha or 4047 m2

Note: "km2" means (km)2, square kilometre or kilometre squared and not k(m2), kilo–square metre. For example, 3 km2 is equal to 3×(1,000m)2 = 3,000,000 m2, not 3,000 m2.
