Two farmers, Clem Walton and John Brown were discussing their farms when Clem said to John, "My property is a mile square."
John looked at Clem and said, "As a matter of fact, mine is a square mile." "Then there is no difference," replied Clem.
Is Clem's last statement correct?
__________
No.
A square mile denotes an specific area, but does not specify a particular shape. A mile square specifically refers to a square that has sides a mile in length.
Nope, that's the answer, not the question. :)Quote:
