Question

The population and area of three U.S. states in the East Coast region are given:

Answer 1

Answer:   a) Density of,

New York = 420

Maryland =  619

Pennsylvanian = 286

b) The required order from most dense state to least dense state is,

Maryland, New York, Pennsylvanian

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since, $Density = \frac{Population}{Area}$

Here, The population of New York = 19,795791

Area = 47126

Thus, the Density of the New York

= $\frac{19,795791}{47126} =420.060921784\approx 420$

Similarly, Density of Maryland,

= $\frac{6,006,401}{9,707}= 618.770062841\approx 619$

And, Density of Pennsylvania

= $\frac{12,802,503}{44,743}= 286.134210938\approx 286$

b) Since, 619 > 420 > 286

Thus, the states in the decreasing order of their density,

Maryland, New York, Pennsylvanian
