A township is how many square miles?

  1. 20

  2. 24

  3. 36

  4. 40

The correct answer is: 36

A township refers to a geographical division of land that is six miles by six miles in size, within a county. Therefore, it encompasses a total area of 36 square miles. Option A is incorrect as it is the number of sections within a township, not the total area. Option B is also incorrect as it is the number of sections within a six-mile range, not the total area of a township. Option D is incorrect as it is the total area of a six-mile range, not the total area of a township.
