    Step-by-step explanation:

    Population density is expressed as the ratio of the total number of people, N living in or occupying an area or space to the total area or space. Therefore

    Population density = number of people/area

    A) The town of Manchester (population 50,000) has the shape of a rectangle that is 5 miles wide and 7 miles long. The area would be

    5 * 7 = 35 square miles

    Population density = 50000/35

    = 1429 people/square mile

    B) The business area has radius of 1 mile. Its area would be

    πr² = 3.14 * 1² = 3.14 square miles.

    The area where people reside outside the business area is

    35 - 3.14 = 31.86 square miles

    Population density = 50000/31.86

    = 1569 people per square mile
