The attachment shows the square and circular containers.
Answer: Circular container is 2.3 ants/in² gretaer than square container.
Step-by-step explanation: The image bellow shows a square with sides of 10 inches and a circle with diameter of 10 in. To calculate the density (ants/square in), the area of each is needed.
Area of Square:
A = length*width
A = 10.10
A = 100
Area of Circle:
The diameter of the circle is 10, so the radius is 5.
A = π.radius²
A = 3.14.5²
A = 78.5
Density for square container:
D = [tex]\frac{850}{100}[/tex]
D = 8.5 ants/in²
Density for circular container:
D = [tex]\frac{850}{78.5}[/tex]
D = 10.8 ants/in²
Comparing both:
10.8 ants/in² - 8.5 ants/in² = 2.3 ants/in²
The circular container is 2.3 ants/in² greater than the square one.
