Computing Population Density. To determine an area's population density, you just have to divide an area's total population by the land area in square miles (or square kilometers). For example, Canada's population of 33 million, divided by the land area of 3,559,294 square miles yields a density of 9.27 people per square mile.
Density is the measurement of the amount of mass per unit of volume. In order to calculate density, you need to know the mass and volume of the item. The mass is usually the easy part while volume can be tricky. Simple shaped objects are usually given in homework problems such as as a cube, brick or sphere. The formula for density is: density = mass/volume.
