There are places where population densities approaching 1 person/m^2 already exist. A two story building in Delhi, India was found housing 518 people, a density of 1 person/ 1.5m^2. Calculate the floor area of this building.
A = 516persons * 1.5m^2/person =
To calculate the floor area of the two-story building in Delhi, India, we need to first determine the total number of square meters occupied by 518 people.
Given that the density is 1 person/1.5m², we can calculate the area occupied by a single person by dividing 1m² by 1.5.
Area occupied by a single person = 1m²/1.5 = 0.67m²
Now, we can calculate the total area occupied by 518 people by multiplying the area occupied by a single person by the total number of people:
Total area occupied by 518 people = 0.67m²/person * 518 people = 347.06m²
Since the building has two stories, we need to double the calculated area:
Total floor area of the two-story building = 2 * 347.06m² = 694.12m²
Therefore, the floor area of the two-story building is approximately 694.12 square meters.
