California Real Estate Practice Exam

The representation of the largest area among the choices provided is 1/10 of a township. A township in the United States encompasses a total area of 36 square miles, which is equivalent to 6 miles by 6 miles. Therefore, if you take 1/10 of a township, that amounts to 3.6 square miles.

When considering the other options, while "2 miles square" and "square miles" might seem significant, it's important to note that "2 miles square" equates to an area of 4 square miles, which is less than 3.6 square miles. The term "square miles" could refer to any measure of area defined in square miles, but by itself does not specify an amount that exceeds the area of 3.6 square miles. Lastly, "sections" represent areas of 1 square mile each, and thus would be substantially smaller than 1/10 of a township, given that a township comprises 36 sections.

In this context, the 1/10 of a township has the greatest area of all the options listed, making it the correct choice.
