If you live in a rectangular city that is 1 mile along the southern border and contains 1000 people, what is the density of people in the city?

Respuesta :

Rectangle is twice as long as it is wide

If the length is 1 mile then the width is .5 mile

Area = length x width

 = 1 * .5 = .5

Area = .5 square miles

Put population density in the format of 1 square mile


So if there is 1000 people per .5 square miles then there is 2000 people per square mile.


We can not calculate the value. The width of the rectangular city is not given. Option A is correct.

What is the area of the rectangle?

The space occupied by the rectangle in the two-dimensional plane is called an area of the rectangle. The area is calculated by the product of the length and the width.

Given that in a rectangular city that is 1 mile along the southern border and contains 1000 people.

In the question, we do not have the width of the rectangle so we can not calculate the area of the city. Due to that, the density can not be defined.

Therefore, we can not calculate the value. The width of the rectangular city is not given. Option A is correct.
