Answer: 133.2 square mile.

Explanation:

Given: In 2010, the population of Atlanta, Georgia = 419,979

The population density = 3153 people per square miles

The formula to calculate the population density is given by :-


\text{Population Density}=\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}\\\\\Rightarrow3153=\frac{419979}{\text{Area}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=(419979)/(3153)= 133.199809705\approx133.2\ miles^2

Hence, the Atlanta's land area in 2010 = 133.2 square mile.
