To calculate the area of the country, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Population Density}}
\]
Given that the population is 8,264,472 people and the population density is 250 people per square mile, the calculation would be:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{8,264,472 \text{ people}}{250 \text{ people/mi}^2}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 33,058.088 \text{ mi}^2
\]
Rounding this to two decimal places gives:
\[
\text{Area} \approx 33,057.88 \text{ mi}^2
\]
Thus, the correct answer is:
**33,057.88 mi.²** (or **33,057.88 mi squared**)
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Population Density}}
\]
