The state of south dakota has a population of about 814,000 people. find the population density in people per square miles if the following dimensions are given: 380mi (width) 200 mi (hight).

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

Formula

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.

resultant is 10 pound

smaller force = 8 pound
