Does 4E D&D specify what the real-world size of a battlemap "square" is? Reference/citation desired.

A single battlemap square represents a 5 foot by 5 foot space.
From the PHB, p266:
A 1-inch square on the battle grid represents a 5-foot square in the game world. So a dungeon room that is 40 feet by 50 feet would be 8 squares by 10 squares, which is a huge room but a good size for a busy combat encounter.
