Answer
6,969,600 square feet
One section is one square mile, which is 640 acres
One fourth of 640 acres is 160 acres.
Each acre is 43,560 square feet
Therefore, one quarter of a section is 640/4 x 43,560 = 6,969,600 square feet.
Alternatively, you can see that a square mile cut into quarters would be 4 half-mile by half-mile squares. A mile is 5,280 feet, so each square would be (1/2 x 5,280)2 = 6,969,600 square feet
