Answer:


D =(P)/(\pi X^2)

And solving for the radius we got:


X = \sqrt{(P)/(\pi D)}

And replacing the data given we got:


X = \sqrt{(480 (people)/(km^2))/(\pi *20000 people)}= 0.0874Km

And this value converted to meters is
X = 87.40 m

Explanation:

For this case we know the population size
P = 20000 and we also know the population density
D = 480 (people)/(km^2)

We can assume that the area is a circle. We also know that the formula for the population density is given by:


D= (P)/(A)

Where P represent the number of people and A the area. Since we are assuming a circle then the area is given by:


A = \pi X^2

With X the radius of the circle

And then the populationd density become:


D =(P)/(\pi X^2)

And solving for the radius we got:


X = \sqrt{(P)/(\pi D)}

And replacing the data given we got:


X = \sqrt{(480 (people)/(km^2))/(\pi *20000 people)}= 0.0874Km

And this value converted to meters is
X = 87.40 m
