1) Notice that the sinking rate is 20miles² per 5 years (2011-1996) so:
[tex]\frac{20}{5}=\frac{4m^2}{y}[/tex]So the rate is 4 square miles per year.
2) We need to convert those measures from feet to miles:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ mile=5280ft} \\ 2000ft=\frac{2000}{5280}=0.378miles \\ 9380ft=\frac{9380}{5280}=1.7765miles \end{gathered}[/tex]So, now let's find the area multiplying the width by the height:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=1.7765\cdot0.378 \\ A=0.671517m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, considering the sinking rate of 4miles²/year we can write the following pair of ratios:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1year-------4miles^2 \\ x----------0.6715 \\ 4x=0.6715 \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{0.6715}{4} \\ x=0.17 \\ \\ --- \\ 0.17\times12\approx2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Note that we found that approximately 0.17 year is necessary to submerge tat island, converting that to months, we can state that in approximately 2 months
