To find the width of Wyoming, we need to find the area of the state and divide by the width.

Area = population density x total population

Area = 2.16 x 564,000 people

Area = 1,222,624 square kilometers

Width = Area / Length

We don't have the length, so we'll have to rearrange the formula to solve for it:

Width = Area / Length

Length = Area / Width

Length = 1,222,624 square kilometers / Width

We'll solve for width:

Width = 1,222,624 square kilometers / Length

Since we don't know the length, we cannot solve for width.
