The pie chart above shows the percentage of land in Rhode Island split up among the different counties. If Rhode Island has a total of 1,045 square miles of land, how many

square miles does Kent County have?

Answer 1

`\huge{ \mathcal{  \underline{ Answer} \:  \:  ✓ }}`

Total land area of Rhode Island is :

`\longmapsto\mathrm{1045 \: \: mi {}^(2) }`

And from the above pie chart, we can conclude that Kent County comprises 16% of total land area of Rhode Island, that is :

`\longrightarrow (16)/(100) * 1045`

`\longrightarrow (16720)/(100)`

`\longrightarrow167.2 \: \: mi {}^(2)`

Therefore, Total land area of Kent County :

`\boxed{ \large{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 167.2 \: \: \: mi {}^(2) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }}`
