Answer:
2.5 km
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the area of the region:
- A circular region has a population of about 15,500 people;
- A population density of about 775 people per square kilometer.
So, there are [tex]15,500 :775=20[/tex] square kilometers.
Now, let x kilometers be the radius of the circular region, then
[tex]A_{\text{circilar region}}=\pi r^2\\ \\20=\pi r^2\\ \\r^2=\dfrac{20}{\pi}\approx 6.366198\\ \\r=\sqrt{3.366198}\approx 2.523[/tex]
To the nearest tenth this is 2.5 km.
