Area covered by the forest in the beginning = 1500km²
Decrease in area each year = 5.8% = 5.8/100 × 1500 = 87km²
Decrease in the area of the forest in <em>t</em> years = 87t
Area of forest now = y
y = 1500 - 87t
They didn’t use a ruler I think they made their own materials from what they had. Also thank you.
