Question

state	population in 2020	population density (people/mi²)
nevada	3,104,614	28.08
rhode island	1,097,379	710.33
connecticut	3,605,944	650.49

answer attempt 1 out of 10
mi² submit answer

Explanation:

Since the problem is not fully stated (it seems to be asking for the area of one of the states, but it's not specified which one), let's assume we need to find the area for one state, say Nevada, using the formula \( \text{Area} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Population Density}} \).

Step1: Identify formula for area

The formula relating population (\( P \)), population density (\( D \)), and area (\( A \)) is \( A = \frac{P}{D} \).

Step2: Substitute values for Nevada

For Nevada, \( P = 3,104,614 \) and \( D = 28.08 \) people/mi². So \( A = \frac{3104614}{28.08} \).

Step3: Calculate the area

\( \frac{3104614}{28.08} \approx 110563.18 \) (rounded to two decimal places).

Answer:

If for Nevada, the area is approximately \( 110563.18 \) mi² (if the problem was about Nevada; if another state, follow similar steps with its population and density).

(Note: Since the problem didn't specify which state's area to find, this is a general approach. If a specific state was intended, adjust the substitution accordingly.)
