Can you express that in ft per hundred ft? Sry I didn't specify earlier. You are correct though
+39 elevation per 100 feet.
I got 3.89 ft per hundred ft. Whatever. Your turn

(Zoom in towards the "Daytona Beach" dot.) Jimmy is a growing baseball fan, and is hoping to go to some games with his Dad. On the way to a game, they are heading NNW on S Beach St. Which street do they turn on to get to Jackie Robinson Ballpark?

I have no regrets.

Correct! Your turn.

Hey Tailsfan, for some reason I can't see your images. I've tried on many different operation systems and computers, and it still won't show. Is there a way you can do a docs link or something next time you post on this subject?

Thanks!
Problems are better pursued with General Electric GE90-115 engines.

It doesn't work for me either. I am just finding the locations on google earth and then solving it.

My question is: how many square feet is in one township?

A township is a 6x6 arrangement of 1x1 mile sections. So 5280ft times six and then squared, is 1003622400ft squared.

Now for my question: How many acres would be in an entire township?

Danny lives in Fort Gordon. He wants to get to Bush Field. What road should he take for the most direct route?
