What is the size of a township in terms of square miles?

24 square miles
36 square miles
48 square miles
64 square miles

The correct answer is: 36 square miles

A township is a specific land measurement within the Public Land Survey System and is defined as a square that measures six miles on each side. To find the area in square miles, you would multiply the length by the width, which in this case is 6 miles × 6 miles. This calculation results in an area of 36 square miles. Understanding this dimension is crucial for real estate professionals as it relates to land division and property assessment in the United States. The other options do not align with the defined size of a township and stem from different calculations or misunderstandings of land measurement terminology.
