Answer 1

Answer:

7685.64 people per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area in city that is land = 92.1 - 11.3 = 80.8 square miles

People per square mile = 621000 / 80.8 = 7685.64 people per square miles.

Answer 2

total costal area = 92.1 sq miles

water area = 11.3 sq miles

land area = 92.1-11.3

= 80.8 sq Miles

total population = 621000

population density = total population/ total land area

= 621000/80.8

= 7685.6 per sq miles
