Remark

Not many per square mile. Sounds like an ideal place to live.

Step One

Find the number of Square Miles.

Area = Height * Width

Area = 380 * 200

Area = 76,000 square miles.

Step Two

Find the Density

<u>Formula</u>

Density = Population / Square Miles

Population = 814,000 people

Square miles = 76000

Solve

Density = 814000/76000 = 10.7 people per square mile.

Remark

Isn't that incredible. It means if all the Area of South Dakota were given to the people living there, each family of 4 would get roughly 1/2 a square mile.

Juan wishes to build a garden at the bottom of his property. He wants to split it in two, like the diagram below, so he can plan
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

20 ft by 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

"What should the dimensions of the garden be to maximize this area?"

If y is the length of the garden, parallel to the stream, and x is the width of the garden, then the amount of fencing is:

120 = 3x + y

And the area is:

A = xy

Use substitution:

A = x (120 − 3x)

A = -3x² + 120x

This is a downward facing parabola.  The maximum is at the vertex, which we can find using x = -b/(2a).

x = -120 / (2 · -3)

x = 20

When x = 20, y = 60.  So the garden should be 20 ft by 60 ft.
