Which of the following is not true about the government or rectangular survey system?

A section is 640 acres
A township contains 36 sections
A section is 1 square mile
A township is 6 miles by 6 miles

The correct answer is: A section is 640 acres

The other options are incorrect because they all accurately describe the government or rectangular survey system. A section is indeed 640 acres, a township contains 36 sections, a section is 1 square mile, and a township is 6 miles by 6 miles. Option A is not true because a section is actually 640 acres, not 640 square miles as stated in option A. This system is used for surveying and dividing land in the United States, and plays an important role in real estate and property ownership.
