The expression below represents the number of trees planted by an environmental agency after t years.

C.  The initial number of trees planted by the agency is 1,500, and the growth rate is 2% per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
