Calculate the total population of the earth standing rank and file i.e. each person occupy 1 square yard.
Now calculate the dimensions, in miles, of the square it would take to hold the population of earth, standing rank and file.
Ans: ____ miles x _____ miles ...
It's been done before.
I saw it somewhere, they would all fit in Texas.
Also.
The total population is 7.5 Billion.
We produce enough food to feed 11 Billion.
Lots of waste there
The square root of 7,500,000,000 people is 86,602 (yards) divided by 1760 yds / mile = a square 49.2 miles x 49.2 miles will hold the earth's population stood rank and file.
When you hear Dire Predictions about over population keep that figure in mind.
Agree plenty of food and resources are wasted daily....
