Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words.New York City has a population of approximately 8.8 million people with a population density of approximately 29,300 people per square mile.What is the approximate area of New York City to the nearest square mile?The area of New York City is approximately square miles.

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate the provided area, so we obtain the following:

Then we will substitute in the population density formula:

`\begin{gathered} populationdensity=(numberofpeople)/(areaofland) \\ areaofland=(numberofpeople)/(populationdensity) \\ areaofland=(8^(\prime)800,000)/(29,300) \\ areaofland\approx300 \end{gathered}`

Finally we obtain that the approximate area of New York City to the nearest square mile is 300 miles².
