Question

The population of the trapezoid-shaped region shown is about 200,000 people. About how many people are there per square mile?

Answer 1

That equals to 2500 people per square mile!

Explanation:

We have to first get the area of the trapezoid. Which is (((a +b)/2)) * h

a = 8

b = 12

h = 8

Time to solve!

20/2 = 10!

10 * 8 = 80 square miles!

Now let's do 200000/80 to get the amount of people per square mile.

That equals to 2500 people per square mile!
