Known rectangular footprints keep their physical sides. Other shapes are equal-area squares, not maps. Overlap compares area; it does not prove a physical fit.
A little perspective
50 square miles has about 1.29 times the area of 100 km² island.

- Comparing
- Area ↔ Area
- Relative size
- 50 square miles is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.29. 50 square miles's selected measurement is approximately 29.5% greater than 100 km² island's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- 100 km² island is labelled example; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
