About Township (township)
Definition
A township (survey) is a unit of land area equal to 36 square miles (93.24 km²), used in the US Public Land Survey System.
Mathematical Relationship
1 township = 36 sections = 36 mi² = 23,040 acres ≈ 93.24 km².
Conversion Formula
To convert townships to sections: multiply by 36. To acres: multiply by 23,040. To km²: multiply by 93.24.
Practical Applications
Legal land descriptions in the western US, mineral rights boundaries, and county subdivision.
Interesting Facts
Indiana was the first state fully surveyed using the township system (1799–1834). The grid is still visible in satellite imagery.
Common Mistakes
Confusing 'township' (the survey unit = 36 mi²) with 'township' as a political subdivision, which can vary in size.
Educational Tips
A township = 6 mi × 6 mi = 36 sections. Each section = 1 mi² = 640 acres. It's a nested grid system.
About Square Inch (in²)
Definition
The square inch is an imperial unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of exactly one inch (6.4516 cm²).
Mathematical Relationship
1 in² = 6.4516 cm² = 645.16 mm². There are 144 in² in 1 ft² and 1,296 in² in 1 yd².
Conversion Formula
To convert in² to cm²: multiply by 6.4516. To ft²: divide by 144.
Practical Applications
PSI (pounds per square inch) pressure measurement, print resolution, material cross-sections, and small parts dimensions.
Interesting Facts
The resolution of printed photos is measured in DPI (dots per inch). A 300 DPI print has 90,000 dots per square inch.
Common Mistakes
Thinking 1 ft² = 12 in² (it's actually 144 in², since 12 × 12 = 144). The square of the conversion factor catches people off guard.
Educational Tips
Remember: 1 ft = 12 in, so 1 ft² = 12² in² = 144 in². Always square the linear conversion factor.
