Population density = 47 people per square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Coordinates of vertex B → (3.87, 2.76)
Which represents length of vertex A from origin O (AD)= 2.76 units ≈ 276 miles
Length of vertex B from origin O (CD) = 3.87 units ≈ 3.87 miles
Area of rectangle ABCD = Length × Width
= CD × AD
= 387 × 276
= 106812 square miles
