If you live in a rectangular city that is 1 mile along the southern border and contains 1000 people, what is the density of people in the city?

Rectangle is twice as long as it is wide

If the length is 1 mile then the width is. 5 mile

Area = length x width

= 1 *.5 =.5

Area =.5 square miles

Put population density in the format of 1 square mile

So if there is 1000 people per. 5 square miles then there is 2000 people per square mile.
