Question

The scale drawing can be used to approximate the area where a colony of 800 bees

live. What is the population density of bees per square foot? Round to the nearest
whole number

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

Answer 2

28 bees per square feet.

Explanation:

The radius of the circle is 3 feet.

Therefore, area of the circle is equal to
`\pi r^(2) = (22)/(7) (3)^(2) = 28.28` square feet.

Now, in this area of 28.28 square feet, there live 800 bees.

Therefore, the population density of bees per square foot will be
`(800)/(28.28) = 28.28` bees per square foot ≈ 28 bees per square feet. (Answer)
