Assumptions1. The population density of Georgia is170 people per square mile. The total area of Georgia is59,425 square miles3. The population is uniformly distributed across the state

STEP 2

We can find the total population by multiplying the population density by the total area.
$Population = Population\, density \\times Area$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the population density and area to calculate the population.
$Population =170\, people/sq\, mile \\times59,425\, sq\, miles$

STEP 4

Calculate the total population.
$Population =170\, people/sq\, mile \\times59,425\, sq\, miles =10,102,250\, people$ The population of the state of Georgia is approximately10,102,250 people.
