AG Mechanics CDE Practice Exam

A township has how many acres?

1. 22,040

2. 23,040

3. 24,040

4. 25,040

The correct answer is: 23,040

A township is typically six miles by six miles, which means that it contains 36 square miles or 36 sections. Each section contains 640 acres, resulting in a total of 23,040 acres in a township. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because they are not the standard measurement for township size, which is six by six miles. Option A is too small, while options C and D are too large. Option B, 23,040 acres, is the most accurate answer.
