About Square Miles
A square mile (mi²) is an imperial unit of area equal to a square with sides of one mile (5,280 ft × 5,280 ft). It is used for measuring large land areas like counties, states, and countries in the United States. Los Angeles covers about 503 mi², Rhode Island (smallest US state) is roughly 1,214 mi², and Alaska is about 665,384 mi².

About Feddan
A feddan (فدان) is the primary unit of land area in Egypt, Sudan, and parts of the Arab world, equal to approximately 4,200 m² (1.038 acres or 0.42 hectares). Its name derives from the Arabic word for 'yoke of oxen,' reflecting its agricultural origins - similar to the British acre. Egypt reports its cultivated farmland in millions of feddan; the fertile Nile Delta that feeds Egypt is measured in feddan. The feddan is subdivided into 24 kirats (each ~175 m²). It remains the legal standard for agricultural land registration in Egypt and Sudan.
