A glacier covered about 176 acres in 2006

Rate of shrinking is 3.7% per year.

Using exponentially decreasing concept

A. The formula for size S as function of years 't' since 2006

               ⇒ S(t)=179(1-0.037)^t

B. Let us take a model were ice ice lost from the glaciers between 2006 to 2014

            S=179(1-0.037)^8

            S=179(0.963)^8

            S=179×0.74

            S =132.4 acres

C. According to the model above area of glaciers lost between 2006 and 2008 is=113 acreacres

       ⇒S=179(1-0.037)^2

      ⇒S=179(0.963)^2

      ⇒S=179×0.90.93

      ⇒S=166 acres

∴glaciers lost between 2006 and 2008 is=179-166=113 acres.
