The pie chart above shows the percentage of land in Rhode Island split up among the different counties. If Rhode Island has a total of 1,045 square miles of land, how many
square miles does Kent County have?

Answer 1

$\huge{ \mathcal{  \underline{ Answer} \:  \:  ✓ }}$

Total land area of Rhode Island is :

$\longmapsto\mathrm{1045 \: \: mi {}^{2} }$

And from the above pie chart, we can conclude that Kent County comprises 16% of total land area of Rhode Island, that is :

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{16}{100} \times 1045$

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{16720}{100}$

$\longrightarrow167.2 \: \: mi {}^{2}$

Therefore, Total land area of Kent County :

$\boxed{ \large{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 167.2 \: \: \: mi {}^{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }}$
