Apply density in area and volume

What you'll learn

1. Define density as a rate that relates a quantity to area or volume, and express density using appropriate units
2. Set up and solve problems involving population density (people per unit area), material density (mass per unit volume), and energy density (energy per unit volume)
3. Use geometric models from HSG.MG.A.1 to compute the areas and volumes needed for density calculations
4. Convert between units in density problems (e.g., people per square mile to people per square kilometer)
5. Interpret density values in real-world modeling contexts and use them to make predictions or comparisons
