Question

A certain forest covers an area of 3600km^2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 6%. What will the area be after 8 years?

Answer 1

= 1728km2

Explanation:

From the formula A = PRT/100%

Where; A is final

P is initial

T is time taken

R is the rate

Therefore A = 3600 × (6/100) × 8

= 1728km2
