What is the area of one section?

Explanation:
In the Public Land Survey System, a section is a square mile. A township is divided into 36 sections, each measuring one mile on each side, so the area of a single section is exactly 1 square mile (equal to 640 acres). The other options represent smaller or larger areas than a standard section: 0.25 and 0.5 are quarters or halves of a square mile, and 2 square miles is twice as large as a section.
