a certain forest covers an area of 2600 km". suppose that each year this area decreases by 4.5%. what will the area be
after 15 years?

1300 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + r)^t

where A is the final amount,

P is the initial amount,

r is the rate,

and t is time.

Given P = 2600, r = -0.045, and t = 15.

A = 2600 (1 − 0.045)^15

A = 1303.2

Rounded, the area decreases to approximately 1300 km².

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
