I’m not sure on the miles thing…
But this is the rule for metres.
“A "square metre" is not the same thing as a "metre square" - although it is true that exactly 1 square metre is exactly 1 meter square. But that only works for the numbers 1 and 0; no others.
For example, a square that is 2 metres long and 2 metres wide has 4 square metres of area.
2m x 2m = 4m2
But a square that is 4 metres squared would have 4 metres on each side. This means it would have 16 square metres of area.
4m x 4m = 16m2”
Further - the 4 sq m does not need to be shaped as a square. The 4m2 is a square.
So my understanding of the riddle is that 1 sq m and 1m2 have the same area but may not have the same shape.
I assume this is also the rule for miles but happy to be corrected if not, as talking miles to me is like talking to me in Swahili 🤭
