Answer 1

Considering the area of a triangle, the region that has a population density less than 60 animals per square mile is:

C. c.

What is the area of a triangle?

The area of a triangle of base b and height h is given by:
A = 0.5bh.

Item a:

We have that b = 40, h = 35, hence the area in miles squared is given by:

A = 0.5 x 40 x 35 = 700.

The density is the number of animals divided by the area, hence:

D = 42500/700 = 60.7.

Item b:

We have that b = 38, h = 25, hence the area in miles squared is given by:

A = 0.5 x 38 x 50 = 950.

Then, the density is:

D = 60800/950 = 64.

Item c:

We have that b = 42, h = 49, hence the area in miles squared is given by:

A = 0.5 x 42 x 49 = 1029.

Then, the density is:

D = 57300/1029 = 55.7.

Hence option C is correct.
