If purchasing the northwest quarter of a section of land, how long is each side?

1,320 feet
2,640 feet
5,280 feet
1 mile

The correct answer is: 2,640 feet

Purchasing the northwest quarter of a section of land means buying one fourth of the total area of that section. A section represents one square mile, so the total area would be 1 square mile. The northwest quarter of that section would therefore be 1/4 of a square mile, which is equivalent to 2,640 feet on each side. Option A, 1,320 feet, would only be half of the quarter, while option C, 5,280 feet, would be the measurement of a full mile and not just a quarter. Option D, 1 mile, is incorrect as it would be the measurement for the full section of land, not just the northwest quarter. Therefore, B is the correct and logical answer.
