A certain forest covers an area of 2400km2 Suppose that each year this area decreases by 7.5%. What will the area be after 8 years?Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest square kilometer.
------------------
After each year the area is 0.925*previous year
---
Area(8) = 2400*0.925^8
=~ 1286 sq km
