Answer 3

Thank you so much!! You have no idea how much I appreciate your help!

Answer 4

I have a question regarding the answer. Is it geographical area because you can't adjust the population size?

Answer 5

The geographic area is adjusted to reflect population size. The electoral district is supposed to be approximately the same population as all other electoral districts. So, a rural area may be much larger in geographical size than a more densely populated urban area, but both have roughly the same population.
