Answer:
1522km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, first convert the percentage to a decimal. That would be .0475.
Now subtract that from 1.0 to get the factor it decreases by. This would be 1-.0475 = .9525
Multiply 2600 x (.9525)^11 = 1522.258 which rounds to 1522 km^2
Answer:
The area will be 1292.98 km² after 11 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find what decreases by 4.57% each year in kilometers:
2600 × 4.57/100 = 26 × 4.57
= 118.82 km²
To find the area after 11 years:
118.82 × 11 = 1307.02
2600 - 1307.02 = 1292.98 km²
1292.98 km² is the answer.
