The population density is about _
people per square mile.

Answer 1

Answer:

The population density is 618.93 per square mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

No. of people, N = 70,000

The radius of a city's town hall, r = 6 miles

We need to find the population density. It can be calculated by the formula i.e. number of people divided by area of land such that,

$P=\dfrac{N}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{N}{\pi r^2}\\\\P=\dfrac{70000}{\pi (6)^2}\\\\P=618.93\ \text{per square mile}$

So, the population density is 618.93 per square mile.
