What is a quadrangle in the context of the Rectangular Survey System?

  1. A four-sided shape with equal sides

  2. An area enclosed by the intersection of two prime meridians and two baselines

  3. A specific type of geographical area used for urban planning

  4. An ancient method for mapping territories

The correct answer is: An area enclosed by the intersection of two prime meridians and two baselines

A quadrangle, in the context of the Rectangular Survey System, refers to an area of land enclosed by the intersection of two prime meridians and two baselines, also known as a township. This system is used to divide and map land in the United States. Option A is incorrect because a quadrangle does not necessarily have to have equal sides. Options C and D are also incorrect because they are not related to the Rectangular Survey System and do not pertain to its definition.
