As this is the UK/Ireland site and you have filed your question under United Kingdom I think it safe to assume that you are asking about the Isle of Wight, the island just south of Portsmouth, in the Solent.
As has already been stated, it's about 146 square miles in total although it is an irregular shape. It is a delightful little island especially if you take the trouble to explore the parts that are off the normal tourists routes. A good bus service allows you to reach almost all parts quite easily and despite its small size, you could easily spend a couple of weeks there as a visitor without "repeating" anywhere.

Whakaari/White Island is situated 48 km from the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, in the Bay of Plenty. It is one of the four islands in the Olive island chain. The nearest mainland towns are Whakatane and Tauranga. The island is roughly circular, about two km in diameter, and rises to a height of 321 m above sea level.
I am the only right answer so far - the others have told you the size of the Isle of WIGHT.

From east to west, the land measures 25 miles, and 13 from north to south. The total area of 146 sq. miles has 532 miles of roads, 514 miles of footpaths and bridleways, and 57 miles of coastline which is a distinct advantage for an Island depending greatly on the tourist industry. The major towns are Newport (population 25,000), Ryde (population (26,100),Cowes (population 19,900), Sandown and Shanklin (population 13,300), and Ventnor (population 5980).
