About 1.15 million people live in a circular region with a population density of about 18,075 people per square kilometer. Find the radius of the region. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Given:

Population in circular region = 1.15 million

Population Density = 18075 people per square kilometer

Formula Used:

We need to make use of the below formula to find the area of circular region.

[tex] Area \; of \; Circular \; region \; = \; \frac{Population}{Density}   [/tex]

Applying the concept:

Substituting the given information in the formula above we get...

[tex] Area \; of \; circular \; region \; = \; \frac{1.15 \times 10^6}{18075}  \\\\Area= \frac{1150000}{18075}  \approx 63.6 \; km^2 [/tex]

[tex] To \; find \; radius \; of \; circle \; with \; area \; 63.6 \; square \; kilometer:\\\\Area \; of \; circle \; = \;\pi r^2\\\\\pi r^2=63.6\\\\r^2= \frac{63.6}{\pi}   \\\\r^2=20.25\\\\r= \sqrt{20.25}  \\\\ r \approx \; 4.5 \; km [/tex]

Conclusion:

The radius of the circular region rounded to the nearest tenth is 4.5 km.
