Answer:
Final answer is approx 1622.48 square kilometers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a certain forest covers an area of 2600 km 2 suppose that each year this area decreases by 9% . Now we need to find about what will the area be after 5 years.
So we need to plug these values into decay formula which is given by:
[tex]A=P(1-r)^t[/tex]
Where P=2600
r= rate = 9%= 0.09
t=time = 5 years
Plug these values into above formula, we get:
[tex]A=2600(1-0.09)^5[/tex]
[tex]A=2600(0.91)^5[/tex]
[tex]A=2600(0.6240321451)[/tex]
[tex]A=1622.48357726[/tex]
Hence final answer is approx 1622.48 square kilometers.
