Some More Useless Math?

[Nick J.]

Firstly, if you tell my sister to sell you anything, I'm gonna keyboard slap you :mrgreen:

So, in tonights class(RE licensing) we were taught legal property descriptions or something like that. Basically, it was a 4 hour class teaching us how to determine a legal property description :roll:

anyways, there was some stuff about it like, here in Arizona the starting point, benchmark, principle baseline, principle meridian or G.& S.R.B.& M. or whatever other name you can think of to say Arizona's basic starting point is around 115th ave/ Baseline (for us locals, otherwise you don't know where that is).

That is where the land survey stuff started :roll:

Alright, without giving away too much, I will say this. A 'Section' is/has 640 acres. Also, you do NOT need to draw anything out if you understand the formula.

Section 20 nw 1/4, sw 1/4, se 1/4; Section 21 ne 1/4, ne 1/4, ne 1/4, ne 1/4

How many square feet did you just buy?

How can a 1/4 of a section (640 acres) be 40 acres?

I think you added a 1/4. If you multiply your answer by 4, you get mine. :)
